Problem

When a sample of NH4SCN(s)\mathrm{NH}_4\mathrm{SCN}(s) is mixed with Ba(OH)2⋅8H2O(s)\mathrm{Ba(OH)}_2\cdot8\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}(s) in a glass beaker, the mixture changes to a liquid and the temperature drops sufficiently to freeze the beaker to the table. Which statement is true about the reaction? (1) The process is endothermic and ΔH\Delta H is negative. (2) The process is endothermic and ΔH\Delta H is positive. (3) The process is exothermic and ΔH\Delta H is negative. (4) The process is exothermic and ΔH\Delta H is positive.
