In the equation below the potential energy of the reactant is less than the potential energy of the products; will \( \Delta \mathrm{H} \) be positive or negative? Will heat energy appear on the reactant or product side of the equation? \( +\mathrm{HI} \) \( \Delta H \) (negative); heat energy would appear on the product side \( -\Delta H \) (negative): heat energy would appear on the reactant side \( +\Delta \mathrm{H} \) (positive); heat energy would appear on the product side \( +\Delta H \) (positive): heat energy would appear on the reactant side
