Exothermic and endothermic reactions — practice question

Hydrogen peroxide, $\text{H-O-O-H}$, breaks down to make water and oxygen. $2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(g) + \text{O}_2(g)$ The bond energies are given in the table. The reaction is exothermic. What is the energy change for the reaction?

  • A$-346\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
  • B$-196\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
  • C$+196\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
  • D$+346\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
