In a chemical plant, 560 kJ/mol is needed to break the reactant bonds in a reaction, and forming the product bonds releases 710 kJ/mol. Which statement about the reaction is correct?
It is exothermic, with 1270 kJ/mol released overall
It is endothermic, with 1270 kJ/mol taken in overall
It is endothermic, with 150 kJ/mol taken in overall
It is exothermic, with 150 kJ/mol released overall
