Solution
Exothermic reactions Reactions which are accompanied by an evolution of heat are called exothermic reactions. The quantity of heat produced is shown along with the products with a '-' sign in terms of △H. For e.g,
CaO(s)+CO2(g)⟶CaCO3(g) △H=−178.3 KJ /mol
Endothermic Reactions Reactions which proceeds with the absorption of heat are called endothermic reactions. The quantity of heat absorbed is shown either along with the products with a '+' sign in terms of △H. For e.g.,2NH3(g) ⟶ N2(g) + 3H2(g) △H=+91.8
