Explanation
Determine reaction type from titration temperature change
Steps:
- Observe temperature change in conical flask during titration from diagram.
- If temperature decreases, reaction absorbs heat (endothermic).
- Recall ΔH sign: positive for endothermic, negative for exothermic.
- Match observation to choices, but diagram absent.
Why C is correct:
- Not enough information; diagram needed to confirm endothermic nature and ΔH sign, but C mismatches definition (endothermic requires ΔH positive).
Why the others are wrong:
- A: ΔH positive fits endothermic, but unconfirmed without diagram.
- B: Fits standard exothermic neutralization (ΔH negative), but diagram may show otherwise.
- D: ΔH positive contradicts exothermic definition.
Final answer: Not enough information.
