Here’s the correct order for solving energy change problems:
1. Balance the equation.
2. Determine the types of bonds and which elements are bonded using Lewis models.
3. Locate bond energies from a table and find the sum of bond energies for each bond in the reactants and repeat for the products.
4. Solve [energy of reactants] - [energy of products].
This sequence ensures that you first have a balanced chemical reaction to work from, understand the bonding situation, then calculate the energies correctly, and finally determine the energy change involved.
