Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following reactions has a negative enthalpy change?
  • Step 1: Understand what enthalpy change means. It refers to the heat content of a reaction.
  • Step 2: Know that a negative enthalpy change means the reaction releases energy.
  • Step 3: Identify the type of reaction that typically has a negative enthalpy change. Exothermic reactions release energy.
  • Step 4: Recognize that respiration is an example of an exothermic reaction.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since respiration releases energy, it has a negative enthalpy change.
