Question

Explain how you would get an enthalpy of formation that is greater than zero using the magnitudes of the bond enthalpies and equation 9.3 (given in the image attached)

ΔΗ ΣΒΕ (reactants )-ΣΒE (products)
= total energy input- total energy released
(9.3)
stands for average bond enthalpy and E is the summation sign. As written, Equation (9.3) takes care
