determining if a reaction is exo or endo

insight 2010,,
they give the reaction H2 + I2 <--> 2HI 
K=48.1 @ 460degrees

how do we know that this reaction is exothermic..

i assumed it was endothermic because 2 reactants becoming one would usually be endothermic because it uses a lot of energy to force 2 molcules to become 1... but i gues i was wrong :'(

Do they give any other information? You can't tell for sure from that.

Haha awesome!

Bring your highlighters in Thursday everyone!

We all make these silly mistakes, highlighting important information certainly helps minimize them.

What about in the exam? Still read quietly to yourself, or not?
