Which of the following reactions represents an exothermic reaction?

A. NH3(g) + 12.0 kcal → ½N2(g) + 3/2H2(g)
B. CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + 212,800 cal
C. C + 2S → CS2, ΔH = 27,550 cal
D. C(graphite) → C(diamond), ΔH = 0.45 kcal

Answer:

B. CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + 212,800 cal

Explanation:

Exothermic means that energy is released.

A cannot be the answer since the process takes energy in at a surplus to work.

C and D have positive enthalpies, which indicate an endothermic reaction.
