Question 6 • Chemistry

The overall change in enthalpy of a reaction depends only on

Answer
A
the reactants and the catalysts only.
B
the path that is taken from the reactants to the products.
C
the reactants, the products, and the catalysts.
D
the reactants and the products.

Explanation

Enthalpy is a state function, so the overall enthalpy change depends only on the initial and final states. Therefore, it depends on the reactants and products, not on the reaction path or catalysts.
