The balanced equations for two reactions are shown.
(1) CH4+N2+H2-CH3N+ NH3
(2) CH4 +12-CH3 + HI
Which statement best explains why reaction 1 requires a greater input of energy than reaction
2?
(1 point)
The bond energy of the products in reaction 1 is less than the bond energy of
the products in reaction 2.
The bond energy of the reactants in reaction 1 is greater than the bond energy
of the reactants in reaction 2.
The number of bonds in the reactants in reaction 1 is greater than the number
of bonds in the reactants in reaction 2.
The number of reactants in reaction 1 is greater than the number of reactants
in reaction 2.
