Question
Chapter 2, Problem 9TYPSS
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The condition, in which the potential energy of the product is greater than that of the reactants, it requires the energy for the completion of the reaction and the formation of the product. These reactions are known as the endothermic reactions.
In case, the potential energy of the product is less than that of the reactant, then the reaction does not require any external energy, and the formation of the product, in this case, releases the energy. This is known as an exothermic reaction.
