Chapter 6.SE, Problem 24EDRM

The addition of water to ethylene to yield ethanol has the following thermodynamic parameters:

Chapter 6.SE, Problem 24EDRM, The addition of water to ethylene to yield ethanol has the following thermodynamic parameters: (a)

(a) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

(b) Is the reaction favorable (spontaneous) or unfavorable (nonspontaneous) at room temperature (298 k)?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which carbocation is more stable?
Are the products of the given reaction correct?  Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products.  I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products.  That's the opposite of what the question was asking.  Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates").  In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
