Responses

product bond energy ÷ reactant bond energy
product bond energy ÷ reactant bond energy

reactant bond energy – product bond energy
reactant bond energy – product bond energy

product bond energy × reactant bond energy
product bond energy × reactant bond energy

reactant bond energy + product bond energy
reactant bond energy + product bond energy

1 answer

Total reaction energy is typically calculated as:

reactant bond energy – product bond energy

This represents the difference in energy between the bonds broken in the reactants and the bonds formed in the products. Thus, the correct response is:

reactant bond energy – product bond energy.
