Methanol is made from carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a reversible reaction.
CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g)\text{CO(g)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{OH(g)}CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g)
For the amounts shown in the equation, the backward reaction takes in 91 kJ of energy.
Which statement describes the forward reaction?
It is exothermic and gives out 91 kJ91\ \text{kJ}91 kJ of energy
It is endothermic and takes in 91 kJ91\ \text{kJ}91 kJ of energy
It is exothermic and gives out less than 91 kJ91\ \text{kJ}91 kJ of energy
It is endothermic and takes in less than 91 kJ91\ \text{kJ}91 kJ of energy
