Answer 1

To answer your questions about the given chemical reaction, we’ll need to calculate the total bond energies involved.

### Step 1: Identify the Bonds in Reactants and Products
Let's identify the types of bonds broken in the reactants and the bonds formed in the products.

### Bonds in Reactants
**Reactants:**
- Sulfur (S)
- Carbon (C)
- Potassium Nitrate (KNO3)

For the bonds, we assume:
- S-S (1 bond)
- C-C and C=O from KNO3 (for each KNO3, we have 1 K-O bond and 3 N-O bonds, thus for 3 KNO3: 3 K-O and 9 N-O)

### Bonds in Products
**Products:**
- CO2 (each CO2 has 2 C=O bonds)
- K2S (1 K-S bond per K)
- N2 (1 N-N bond)

### Step 2: Calculate Bond Energies
You need the average bond energy values for these bonds. Here’s a simplified example (actual values can be retrieved from bond energy tables):

- S-S: ~ 260 kJ/mol
- C-C: ~ 348 kJ/mol
- C=O: ~ 799 kJ/mol
- K-O: ~ 476 kJ/mol
- N-O: ~ 200 kJ/mol
- C-O in CO2: ~ 799 kJ/mol
- N-N: ~ 163 kJ/mol
- K-S: ~ 300 kJ/mol (average)

### Step 3: Insert Values
#### 1. Bond Energies of Reactants:
- Total bond energy for reactants can be calculated based on the total count of bonds multiplied by the bond energy.

#### 2. Bond Energies of Products:
- Similar approach with products.

### Step 4: Total Energy of Reaction:
Using the formula:
\[
\text{Total Energy of Reaction} = \text{Total bond energies of reactants} - \text{Total bond energies of products}
\]

### Step 5: Determine Reaction Type:
- If the result (Total Energy of Reaction) is negative, the reaction is **exothermic** (releases energy).
- If it's positive, it's **endothermic** (absorbs energy).

### Conclusion:
Now we can match the results to Column B:

1. **Bond energy absorbed** or **released** depends on your calculations.
2. Based on the energy values you determined from your reactions:
- Choose whether absorbed or released is greater.
3. The value from your calculations will determine the classification of the reaction (exothermic or endothermic).

For example:
- If total energy you calculated is -1433 kJ/mol (example value), match with **b**.
- If total energy is greater energy released than absorbed, match with **c**.
- If it’s less absorbed than released, match with **f**.
- If the total is negative, select **a** for exothermic, otherwise **d** for endothermic.

If you can provide the exact bond energy values calculated or any specific numerical data, we can fill out the answers more accurately.
