Short explanation

Identify whether the forward or reverse reaction is endothermic from given information. This objective belongs to Energy changes and reversible reactions within Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium for AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462. A strong answer should use endothermic accurately, explain the chemistry behind the statement, and connect the idea back to the exact command in the objective. When revising, separate this point from neighbouring Chemistry ideas by naming the relevant particle, substance, process, calculation, observation, or structure before giving the final conclusion.
