How can we say from a set of reactions that it is endothermic or exothermic by only reactions?

Expert Answer
To determine whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic only by looking at the reaction, following method will be helpfull:
If the reaction is Exothermic, the term- 'Heat' or 'Δ' sign will be written on the product side (R.H.S.).
If the reaction is Endothermic, the term- 'Heat' or 'Δ' sign will be written on the reactant side (L.H.S.).
For example:
Exothermic reaction The chemical reactions which proceed with the evolution of heat energy are called as exothermic reactions. A + B → C + Δ For example: 2SO2 + O2 2SO3 + Δ CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + Δ |
Endothermic reactions The chemical reactions which proceed with the absorption of heat energy are called as exothermic reactions. A + B + Δ → C For example: C + H2O + Δ → CO + H2 N2 + O2 + Δ 2NO |
