Ok, so when you have a reaction, destroyer method has a way to put heat on one side of the equation (he's called Homer in the destroyer). So when heat increases, Homer runs to the opposite side of where he's placed.

My question is how do you figure out what side to put Homer on?

Is Homer ALWAYS on the left side when the enthalpy change (H) is positive? (Endothermic, nonspontaneous reaction)

Thanks snder's!
 
just think of it as when delta H is positive: reaction absorbs heat, therefore homer/heat is a reactant and when Delta H is negative, Heat/homer is released so it is a product. So on the product side!
endothermic does not imply reaction is non spontaneous, unless u know delta G is +! be carefull
