**Question 4**

HI can react to form hydrogen and iodine as shown in the reaction below. When this occurs a small amount of heat is given off.

\[ 2 \text{HI (g)} \rightarrow \text{H}_2 \text{(g)} + \text{I}_2 \text{(g)} \]

(Hint: Think about your gas laws. Will the volume of the system be expanding, contracting, or staying the same?)

- o \[ w<0, q>0 \]
- o \[ w<0, q<0 \]
- o \[ w>0, q>0 \]
- o \[ w=0, q<0 \]
- o \[ w>0, q<0 \]
- o \[ w=0, q>0 \]

**Hint:**

- Endothermic, \[ q > 0 \]
- Exothermic, \[ q < 0 \]

When a system expands we say work is done BY the system (on the surroundings).

When a system contracts, we say work is done ON the system (by the surroundings).

What happens if a system neither expands nor contracts?
