Question

part c will the energy released in the synthesis of water equal the energy absorbed in the decomposition of water? explain.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, in a chemical reaction, the energy change is a state - function. The synthesis of water and the decomposition of water are reverse reactions of each other. The energy released in the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen is the same as the energy required to break water into hydrogen and oxygen because the initial and final states of the substances and the nature of the chemical bonds involved are the same in magnitude but opposite in sign for these two processes.

Answer:

Yes, the energy released in the synthesis of water equals the energy absorbed in the decomposition of water due to the law of conservation of energy.
