The equation for calculating the standard enthalpy change (ΔH°) in a reaction is given by:
A. ΔH° = Σ (bond energies formed) - Σ (bond energies broken)
B. ΔH° = Σ (bond energies broken) - Σ (bond energies formed)
C. ΔH° = Σ (bond energies broken) * Σ (bond energies formed)
D. ΔH° = Σ (bond energies broken) / Σ (bond energies formed)
The equation for calculating the standard enthalpy change (ΔH°) in a reaction is ΔH° = Σ (bond energies formed) - Σ (bond energies broken).
