In the reversible reaction of the type, A + B ⇌ AB, in general__________________?

Correct answer: C. The combination reaction will be exothermic, while the dissociation reaction will be

  • A. Both forward and backward reactions will be exothermic
  • B. Neither of the reactions will be endothermic
  • C. The combination reaction will be exothermic, while the dissociation reaction will be
  • D. endothermic
  • E. The combination reaction will be endothermic, while the dissociation reaction will be
  • F. exothermic

Explanation

The combination of A and B to form AB releases the heat that is absorbed when AB dissociates. Thus, the forward combination is exothermic and the reverse dissociation is endothermic.
