Q. Which of the following statements about the forward reaction is not true1H is negative2 The reaction is exothermic3 The energy content of the product is greater than the reactant4 The energy necessary for the reverse reaction is greater than for the forward reaction1234
Check ΔH Negative: Check statement 1: If ΔH is negative, the reaction is exothermic, which means it releases energy.
Exothermic Reaction: Check statement 2: The reaction being exothermic is consistent with statement 1, so this could be true.
Energy Content Comparison: Check statement 3: If the reaction is exothermic, the energy content of the products should be less than that of the reactants, not greater. This statement seems off.
Reverse Reaction Energy: Check statement 4: The energy necessary for the reverse reaction is generally greater than for the forward reaction in an exothermic process, so this could be true.
