during a reaction, δh for reactants is −750 kj/mol and δh for products is 920 kj/mol. which statement is correct about the reaction?

it is endothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when the products are formed.
it is endothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when the products are formed.
it is exothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when the products are formed.
it is exothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when the products are formed.

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since energy of reactants is less than the energy of products. Therefore, it means energy is absorbed during the reaction.

As the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when products are formed.  

Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, it is endothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when the products are formed is correct.

The correct answer is :'It is endothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when the products are formed'.

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of products is more than the energy of the reactants. In these reactions, energy is absorbed by the system.

The energy required to break the bonds in the reactant is more that the energy released when the products are formed.

The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of reactants is more than the energy of the products. In these reactions, energy is released by the system.

The energy required to break the bonds in the reactant is less that the energy released when the products are formed.

The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be negative.

ΔH for reactants =  -750 kJ/mol

ΔH for products = 920 kJ/mol

ΔH for reactants <  ΔH for products

It is endothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when the products are formed

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
