If we have a reaction and the total bond energy is 5605 kj/ mol for the reactants and 6900 kj/mol for the products, how do we callculate the overall energy? also is this endothermic or exothermic?
bond energy for the reactants = 5605 kj/ mol
bond energy for the products = 6900 kj/mol
overall energy = bond energy of reactants - bond energy of products
= 5605 - 6900
= - 1295 kJ /mol
here overall energy is negative. so this is exothermic reaction.
