Problem

For the reaction A→B\mathrm{A \rightarrow B} carried out at constant pressure, the enthalpy change is ΔH=+125 kJ mol−1\Delta H = +125\,\text{kJ\,mol}^{-1}. If 0.50 mol of A reacts completely under these conditions, determine: (a) whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic, (b) the numerical value and sign of qsystemq_{\text{system}} for the 0.50 mol reaction event.
