Chapter 15, Problem 71E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In case of endothermic reaction, predict the effect of increasing and decreasing the reaction temperature for the given reaction.

$\text{C}\left(\text{s}\right){\text{ + CO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\underset{}{\overset{}{\rightleftarrows }}\text{ 2CO}\left(\text{g}\right)$

Concept Introduction:

Temperature changes mean the flow of heat changes.

In case of endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed by the reaction mixture. And change in enthalpy is positive for an endothermic reaction $\left(\text{Δ H > 0}\right)$.
