I2 (g) + H2 --> 2HI dH = - 10 kJ/mol
My book says that this sentence is true, but I do not agree.
The breaking of bonds is an endoenergetic process and the formation of bonds is an exoenergetic process. If the reaction is exoenergetic this means that the exoenergetic process involves more energy than the endoenergetic process.
We can see it by other way. If the energy involved in the breaking of bonds in H2 and I2 is great in quantity than the energy released in the formation of bonds in HI this means that the reactional systhem obtained energy and thus the enthalpy of the products is higher than the enthalpy of the reactants, which is an caractheristic of an endoenergetic reaction and not of an exoenergetic reaction.
Am I right?
In this reaction the energy involved in the breaking of bonds in H2 and I2 is great in quantity than the energy released in the formation of bonds in HI.
