For a certain chemical reaction, the bond energy of the reactants is 43 kJ, and 35 kJ of energy is released. For energy to be conserved, what is the bond energy of the products?

78kJ

Explanation:

Energy change = Energy in (reactants) - Energy out (products)

According to this question, energy is released, meaning that the reaction is EXOTHERMIC. Hence, the energy change will be negative (-) i.e bond energy of reactants is greater than bond energy of products.

Energy in = bond energy of reactants = 43kJ

Energy out = bond energy of products = ?

Energy change of exothermic reaction = -35kJ

Therefore;

-35kJ = 43kJ - x

x = 35kJ + 43kJ

x = 78kJ

The bond energy of the products is 78kJ.
