Try a question
Water freezes to form ice in a freezer. What is the sign of ΔH for the freezing process?
- Positive, because the water releases heat.
- Negative, because the water releases heat.
- Positive, because the water absorbs heat.
- Zero, because the substance remains H2O.
Answer
B. Negative, because the water releases heat.. Freezing releases heat to the surroundings, so it is exothermic and has a negative enthalpy change.
