Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A positive ΔH value indicates that the process absorbs heat from the surroundings, meaning that it is endothermic. A negative ΔH value indicates that the process releases heat into the surroundings, meaning that it is exothermic. Therefore, the only option that correctly matches a positive ΔH value with an endothermic process is choice C.
