Question

which statement about the reaction illustrated in the diagram is true?a) no heat is required to start the reactionb) the energy required to break the bonds is less than the energy released upon forming new bondsc) the reaction is endothermic d) the energy required to break the bonds is more released upon forming new bondsWhich letter in the energy diagram represents the chemical energy of the products?a) Db) Ec) Bd) A

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

If the total amount of bond breaking energy exceeds the amount of bond breaking energy, then the reactions is endothermic and If the total amount of bond breaking energy is less than the amount of bond breaking energy, then the reactions is exothermic.

In this case, the reaction is exothermic because in the energy diagram it shows that energy is released. Therefore the answer is B

Answer

B - the energy required to break the bonds is less than the energy released upon forming new bonds.

The letter in the energy diagram that represents the chemical energy of the products is E.
