How is total reaction energy calculated?(1 point)

Question

Responses

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

product bond energy × reactant bond energy

Answer 1

The correct way to calculate the total reaction energy is:

reactant bond energy – product bond energy

This is because the total reaction energy is determined by the difference between the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants and the energy released when the bonds in the products are formed.
