Explanation / Answer

13.40) 1 mole A is converted to 1 mole B as below:

A (1 mole, 20 kJ) ------> B (1 mole, 60 kJ)

The heat of reaction = (energy content of B) – (energy content of A) = (60 kJ) – (20 kJ) = 40 kJ

Therefore, Erxn = 40 kJ

Therefore, A has lower energy content than B and extra energy must be supplied (40 kJ) from outside so that A can be converted to B. Therefore, A absorbs energy and hence the reaction is endothermic (ans).

13.42) Now, the reaction is

B (1 mole. 60 kJ) ------> A (1 mole, 20 kJ)

a) Now the reactant (B) has more energy than the product (A). Therefore, B must release energy in order to form A. In other words, B gives out energy to the surroundings. Therefore, the reaction is exothermic.

b) Erxn = E (final value) – E (initial value) = (20 kJ) – (60 kJ) = -40 kJ (ans).
