Problem

A reaction coordinate diagram shows reactants at 62 kJ and products at 95 kJ. Based on these values, what is ΔH for the forward reaction, and is the process endothermic or exothermic? (a) −33 kJ,  exothermic-33\text{ kJ},\;\text{exothermic} (b) +33 kJ,  endothermic+33\text{ kJ},\;\text{endothermic} (c) +33 kJ,  exothermic+33\text{ kJ},\;\text{exothermic} (d) +157 kJ,  endothermic+157\text{ kJ},\;\text{endothermic}
