Hydrated copper(II) sulfate is heated and the forward reaction takes in energy. Water is then added to the anhydrous copper(II) sulfate that is formed. What happens to the temperature of the tube, and why?
It rises, because the reverse reaction is exothermic
It falls, because the reverse reaction is endothermic
It rises, because the reverse reaction is endothermic
It falls, because the reverse reaction is exothermic
