At 21 °C, a solution of 12 mL each of 0.00200 M Fe3+ and 0.001000 M SCN- was mixed and brought to 25.0 mL with 0.1 M HNO3. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured to be 0.350 (A450 = 0.350).  This solution was then heated to 45 °C and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured to be 0.142 (A450= 0.142).    Is the reaction:  Fe3+(aq) + SCN -(aq)  →  FeSCN2+(aq) exothermic or endothermic? Explain.
