NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
What does the relationship ∆ r H = Σ(∆H(bonds broken)) - Σ(∆H(bonds formed)) represent?
Options
- AIt calculates the mean bond enthalpies of reactants and products.
- BIt determines the electrical conductivity of a substance.
- CIt predicts the enthalpy change of a reaction based on bond enthalpies.
- DIt measures the temperature change during a chemical reaction.
Correct answer
C. It predicts the enthalpy change of a reaction based on bond enthalpies.
Step-by-step solution
The relationship ∆ r H = Σ(∆H(bonds broken)) - Σ(∆H(bonds formed)) is used to predict the enthalpy change of a reaction based on bond enthalpies.
