negative

The reaction is exothermic and thus the sign of the enthalpy change is negative.

A chemistry student needs to determine the effect of increasing temperature on the equilibrium position of a chemical reaction in which an exothermic reaction is taking place. Given the balanced chemical equation A + B ⇌ C + heat, the student needs to determine how the concentration of products and reactants will change as the temperature is increased, and explain the observed changes using Le Chatelier's principle.

Calculate the enthalpy of polymerization for the reaction of ethylene (C2H4) to polyethylene (C2H4)n, given that the enthalpy of combustion for ethylene is -1411 kJ/mol and the number of moles of ethylene used in the reaction is 4.5 mol. Assume that the reaction is exothermic and that the enthalpy change is constant over the extent of the reaction.

A student needs to find out how much heat is released or absorbed when 100 mL of 0.1 mol/L solution of barium chloride (BaCl2) is mixed with 150 mL of 0.1 mol/L solution of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) at 25°C. Given the enthalpy of precipitation of BaSO4 as -256 kJ/mol, calculate the enthalpy change (in kJ) for the reaction that occurs and determine whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
