How do i determine whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic from just the equation

Accepted Answer

Observing the change in enthalpy (ΔH) in the balanced chemical equation can help you determine whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If ΔH is negative, the reaction is exothermic, releasing heat, and if ΔH is positive, the reaction is endothermic, absorbing heat.
