determined, but H can be determined when the reactants are
converted to the products.

Energy Change during Formation and Breaking of Bonds
Bond breaking
Usually chemical bonds ofthereactant.
Heatenergy isabsorbed
Bond forming
Usually new chemical bondsof the product.
Heatenergy is given out.
Relationship between energy change and the formation and breaking of bonds
In a chemical reaction, if theheat energy absorbed in bond breaking islower than the
heat energy given out in bond forming, the reaction is anexothermic reaction
Example: H (bond breaking) = +600 kJ, H (bond forming) = -800 kJ, H (heat of
reaction) = [(+600) + (-800)] kJ= -200 kJ

Fossil Fuels: relatively high fuel value and convenient to use (non-renewable and cause
greenhouse effect and acid rain)
Water: hydroelectric power. It is clean, renewable, convenient and economical to use (high
cost of construction and destruction of the surrounding environment)
