In chemical reactions, heat is converted into chemical energy(the potential energy stored in chemical bonds) or vice versa. Bondenergy is the energy required to break one mole of the bond in thegas phase. Since it takes energy to break a bond, bond energies arealways positive. Conversely, energy is released when bonds areformed. Thus, the enthalpy change for a reaction can beapproximated from ΔHrxn=∑(ΔHbreaking)+∑(ΔHforming) where Hrepresents bond energies for the breaking (positive bond energy) orforming (negative bond energy) of a bond and Hrxn represents theoverall enthalpy for the reaction. Use the table to answerquestions about bond energies. Bond Bond energy (kJ/mol )
