A Energy to break bonds is more than energy release to form bonds
B Energy to break bonds is less than energy release to form bonds
Which type of reaction is represented by B?
Endothermic reaction
Exothermic reaction
Reaction between liquids
Reaction between solids
Answer:
Reaction B is exothermic
Explanation:
From the context of thermodynamics, chemical reactions can be broadly classified as endothermic and exothermic reactions.
Endothermic reactions involve absorption of energy and show a positive value for the reaction enthalpy i.e. ΔH is positive. In contrast, exothermic reactions are accompanied by the release of energy and show a negative value for the enthalpy change i.e. ΔH is negative.
In a given chemical reaction energy is required to break bonds and it is released during the formation of new bonds.
The Reaction B is such that, the energy required to break bonds is less than energy released during formation bonds. Therefore, since there is a net release of energy, the reaction is exothermic.
