Problem

When a sample of NH4SCN(s)\text{NH}_4\text{SCN}(\text{s}) is mixed with Ba(OH)2⋅8H2O(s)\text{Ba}(\text{OH})_2 \cdot 8\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{s}) in a glass beaker, the mixture changes to a liquid and the temperature drops sufficiently to freeze the beaker to the table. Which statement is true about the reaction? a. The process is endothermic and ΔH\Delta H is negative. b. The process is endothermic and ΔH\Delta H is positive. c. The process is exothermic and ΔH\Delta H is negative. d. The process is exothermic and ΔH\Delta H is positive.
