For #8, can someone explain why deltaH is negative? Shouldn't the enthalpy change of the reaction be positive since the temperature of the solution increases? So the solution absorbed heat?

Although deltaH is positive, deltaS is also positive (water is less orderly than ice), and deltaS*T is probably a greater value than deltaH which makes deltaG=deltaH-TdeltaS negative

For the integrated rate law worksheet #5a, I found the answer using
1/((7.0*10^9 M*s)*(120 sec) + 1/0.086M)
= 1/ (8.4*10^11 M*s^2 + 11.63 M^-1)
and I got the right answer but I'm confused by the units. How do the units work out to be M? And how do you add 8.4*10^11 M*s^2 with 11.63 M^-1?

As pressure increases, volume decreases, which causes the concentration of reactants and products to change. This change makes the system not in equilibrium, and therefore causes movement towards equilibrium.
