Bond enthalpy

Postby Valeria Viera 1B » Sat Mar 16, 2019 10:28 pm

Which should we use on final:
Sum of bonds broken - sum of bond formed
Or
Sum of bonds in reactant side - sum of bonds in product side

You would use
∆Hrxn=∆H(bonds broken)-∆H(bonds formed)

Sum of bonds broken - sum of bonds formed because this is essentially the amount of energy you are putting into the system to break bonds - the amount of energy that is released by the formation of new bonds.
