  4. It is at equilibrium.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a reaction where the enthalpy change is positive, what can be inferred about the reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand what enthalpy change means. Enthalpy change is the heat content change during a reaction.
  • Step 2: Identify the sign of the enthalpy change. A positive enthalpy change means that the value is greater than zero.
  • Step 3: Recognize what a positive enthalpy change indicates. It suggests that the reaction requires heat to occur.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the reaction is endothermic. This means the reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings.
