Answer:
This is an endothermic reaction with a positive ΔHrxn.
Explanation:
From the question given above, we can see clearly that the energy of the product (Hp) is greater than the energy of the reactant (Hr). This simply means that the reaction is endothermic as the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction will be positive.
Enthalpy change (ΔH) = Heat of product (Hp) – Heat of reactant (Hr)
ΔH = Hp – Hr = positive
NOTE: A reaction with positive enthalphy change (ΔH) is termed endothermic reaction.
