Q10. During a reaction, 2462 kJ/mol of energy is needed to break bonds and 1363 kJ/mol of energy is released when bonds are made. What type of reaction is it?

Options:

  1. Exothermic, because more energy was released than was absorbed
  2. Endothermic, because more energy was released than was absorbed
  3. Exothermic, because more energy was taken in than was released
  4. Endothermic, because more energy was taken in than was released

Correct Answer:

  1. Endothermic, because more energy was taken in than was released

Q11. During a reaction 988 kJ/mol of energy is needed to break bonds and 1892 kJ/mol of energy is released when bond are made. What type of reaction is it?

Options:

  1. Exothermic, because more energy was released than was absorbed
  2. Endothermic, because more energy was released than was absorbed
  3. Exothermic, because more energy was taken in than was released
  4. Endothermic, because more energy was taken in than was released

Correct Answer:

  1. Exothermic, because more energy was released than was absorbed
