Gen Chem Temperature Question

Hi all!

Just wanted to double check on this:

-When a solution's temperature increases, the reaction is exothermic (getting warmer)
-For Thermodynamic type problems, if T inc, H>0 (endothermic)

Is this good?

Thanks!

1) Yes, because you're measuring the temperature of the surroundings and not the actual reaction itself. Therefore, if the temp goes up in the surroundings that heat had to come from somewhere...which was the reaction.
