NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
What is the net enthalpy change of a reaction?
Options
- AThe enthalpy change when all bonds in the reactant molecules are broken.
- BThe enthalpy change when all bonds in the product molecules are broken.
- CThe enthalpy change when all bonds in both reactant and product molecules are broken.
- DThe enthalpy change when the reaction occurs at constant pressure.
Correct answer
C. The enthalpy change when all bonds in both reactant and product molecules are broken.
Step-by-step solution
The net enthalpy change of a reaction considers the energy required to break all bonds in both reactant and product molecules.
