Question

The enthalpy change of a reaction does not depend on:

• A. the initial and the final enthalpy changes of the reaction
• B. the state of the reactants and the products
• C. the different intermediate reactions
• D. the nature of the reactants and the products

Answer 1

The correct option is C the different intermediate reactions

Enthalpy is a state function. So, enthalpy change does not depend upon the different steps involved in the chemical reaction. Hence, enthalpy change of a reaction does not depend upon the different intermediate reactions.
