The change in energy, AE, is positive if the reaction absorbs energy, and it is negative if the reaction releases energy. You may also see this expressed in terms of change in internal energy, AU. For the purposes of this question, AU and AE are equal. One way a reaction can transfer energy to or from the surroundings is by releasing or absorbing heat. A reaction can also transfer energy, in the form of work, through a change in volume. The total change in energy is the sum of the heat and work: AE=q+w At constant pressure, q = and so AH and w=-. - PAV AE=AH - PAV Part A Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system, based on the following descriptions: A.
