Given the reaction at 101.3 kilopascals and 298 k: hydrogen gas + iodine gas → hydrogen iodide gas
this reaction is classified as
(1) endothermic, because heat is absorbed
(2) endothermic, because heat is released
(3) exothermic, because heat is absorbed
(4) exothermic, because heat is released

the correct answer is "exothermic, because heat is released."

explanation:

in an endothermic process heat is absorbed by the system and in an exothermic process heat is released by the system.

the heat of formation of hydrogen iodide is -9.4 kj/mol. hence the formation of hydrogen iodide from hydrogen and iodine is an exothermic process. heat released is shown by a negative value of enthalpy.

odds are decent that your handwriting right now looks a little bit different than it did five years ago, and will look different again in five more. when i look back through my notebooks from middle school to now, i see a long, slow progression from meticulous and teeny letters to bigger, sloppier ones, plus a few side detours: sometime in high school, for example, i decided those loopy cursive lowercase f’s were just the coolest, adopting them as the lone rep for cursive in my otherwise all-print handwriting.

explanation:

the answer is definitely c.
