Question

Below is the equation for the formation of hydrofluoric acid:

H2(g) + F2(g) ←→ 2 HF(g) + 546kJ
What type of reaction does this equation represent?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is Synthesis and Endothermic

Step-by-step explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction

H₂ + F₂ ⇒ 2HF + 546 kJ

Chemical reactions can be classified in different ways, so I suggest two names of this reaction.

1.- This is a synthesis reaction because two different reactants form a new compound.

2.- This is an endothermic reaction because it was needed to supply 546 kJ of energy so that the reaction proceeds.
