Question

Which of the following statements concerning the reaction below is FALSE? B) The system absorbs energy from the surroundings in this reaction. The energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products D) 192 ks of energy are required for every two moles of Hg0 that react. There is an increase in entropy in this reaction.

Answer 1

Since the change in enthalpy of this reaction is positive

$\Rightarrow$ The reaction is endothermic

If a reaction is endothermic, it means it absorbs energy from the surroundings

Since the reaction absorbs energy, the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactant

$\Rightarrow$ Option C is False
