For #2, can't you reason through this? What must you do to a pot of water to make it evaporate. Do you heat it or cool it? Does that mean it is endothermic or exothermic? Endothermic means it is absorbing heat. Exothermic means it is releasing heat.

Answer 2

from UCI!!!!!

1 is equal bc of equilibrium

2 is endothermic bc of absorbing heat

3 is absorb....bc it is endothermic

yay

all finish!
