Question

How we can determine whether a reaction is an endothermic reaction or exothermic if the values are not given? How can we determine its value theoretically?

Answer 1

To determine whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic and estimate its thermodynamic value, you can employ theoretical principles and analysis. Here are some approaches you can consider:

1. Reaction Enthalpy: The enthalpy change (∆H) of a reaction indicates whether it is endothermic or exothermic. If ∆H is positive, the reaction is endothermic (absorbs heat from the surroundings), while a negative
