MCQs on Heat of Reaction

The heat of reaction is the quantity of heat released or absorbed when the number of moles of reactants indicated by the chemical equation has completely reacted. The amount of heat energy given out or taken in during a chemical reaction is called the enthalpy change or the heat of reaction. The symbol for this is 𐤃H. The heat of reaction is usually measured in kilojoules. The heat of reaction is either negative or positive. For exothermic reactions, 𐤃H is negative. For endothermic reactions, 𐤃H is positive. The heat of a reaction was determined, either directly or calculated indirectly from the heat of combustion data, because it was thought at the time that the heat change, 𐤃H, was the sole driving force of a chemical reaction.
