How is enthalpy used to predict whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

When the enthalpy of the reactants is higher than the enthalpy of the products, the reaction is endothermic.

When the enthalpy of the products is higher than the enthalpy of the reactants, the reaction is exothermic.

When the enthalpy change of the reaction is positive, the reaction is exothermic.

When the enthalpy change of the reaction is positive, the reaction is endothermic.

Which graph represents an exothermic reaction?

A graph has Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts about halfway up the vertical axis and travels a short distance parallel to the horizontal axis; this segment is A plus B. The line then curves up sharply, peaks, and falls sharply to run parallel to and near the horizontal axis; the final segment is C. A double-headed arrow extends from A plus B to C.

A graph has Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line segment labeled A plus B starts low and runs parallel to the horizontal axis. The line then curves up sharply, peaks, and falls a short distance to run parallel to the horizontal axis; the final segment is labeled C. A double-headed arrow extends from A plus B to C.

A graph has Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line segment labeled A plus B starts halfway up the vertical axis and runs parallel to the horizontal axis for a short distance. The line then peaks and returns to the same level as A plus B and continues parallel to the horizontal axis; this segment is labeled C.

A graph has Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line segment labeled A plus B starts low on the vertical axis and runs parallel to the horizontal axis for a short distance. The line then rises sharply and levels off; this level section is labeled C. A double-headed arrow extends from the level of A plus B to that of C.

Which statement is true for most chemical reactions?

An energy change occurs during the breaking and forming of bonds.

The internal energy of the system increases during a reaction.

Energy is released during the formation of reactants.

The enthalpy of the products is higher than the enthalpy of the reactants.
