Question
Describe one way an exam question could test reversible reaction in Energy changes and reversible reactions.
Answer
It could test a definition, comparison, calculation, observation, structure-property relationship, or explanation depending on the objective wording.
Explanation
This answer is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective: Explain that if one direction of a reversible reaction is exothermic, the opposite direction is endothermic. It stays inside Energy changes and reversible reactions, uses reversible reaction as the revision focus, and gives the Chemistry reasoning needed for an exam-style response.
Common mistake
Confusing Exothermic and Endothermic
Students often confuse which direction of a reversible reaction is exothermic and which is endothermic.
To fix this, remember that if the forward reaction releases energy (exothermic), the reverse reaction must absorb energy (endothermic), and vice versa.
