Question

The reaction between silicon and fluorine produces silicon tetrafluoride, as shown below.

Si(s) + 2 F₂(g) → SiF₄(g) + 1615 kJ

Determine whether the energy of the product is lower or higher than that of the reactants.

Accepted Answer

The energy of the product is lower than that of the reactants.

Answer

The energy of the product is higher than that of the reactants.
