Consider the enthalpy diagram below, and assume that AH_f> 0 for both A and B. Consider a reaction by which A → B. My book asks me to "suppose" that this reaction is exothermic. But if we start at A and have to come down AH_c in order to arrive at B, how could the reaction be anything other than exothermic? And if we understand the reaction A → B to be exothermic what else can we conclude? Enthalpy A с (i) () B
