The total bonding energy for the products of a reaction is 2535 kJ/mol and the bonding energy of the reactants is 1375 kJ/mol. Calculate the change in enthalpy, and classify the reaction as endothermic or exothermic. -1160 kJ/mol, endothermic
1160 kJ/mol, exothermic
-1160 kJ/mol, exothermic
1160 kJ/mol, endothermic

28. which is not a reason that water is used to store spent fuel rods from nuclear power plants? water increases the speed of the chain reaction in the fuel rods. water protects nuclear power plant workers from the high temperature and radiation of the fuel rods. water acts as a radiation shield to reduce the radiation levels. water cools the spent rods. salts action
