Question

The total enthalpy change in a reaction depends on:
Options
A Rate of the reaction
B Path taken by the reaction
C Initial and final states
Correct Answer
D Activation energy only
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Enthalpy (H) is a state function. This means that its change (ΔH) for a reaction depends only on the initial state (reactants) and the final state (products), and is independent of the path taken between them.

Hint

State functions are path-independent. Their change is determined solely by the starting and ending points.
