For an endothermic reaction: (A) $q_p$ is negative. (B) $\Delta_rH$ is positive. (C) $\Delta_rH$ is negative. (D) $q_p$ is positive. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
B and D
B
C and D
C
A and B
D
A and C
Detailed Solution
For an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed by the system, so $q_p$ is positive (D) and $\Delta_rH=E_{a(forward)}-E_{a(backward)}$ is positive (B), since products are at higher energy than reactants.
