Which statement about this information is correct?
Answer: The total energy of the bonds broken in the reactants is less than the
total energy of the bonds formed in the product 

Question:
Which of the following statements are true for the reaction:

SO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) ↔ SO3(g) ΔH = –92 kJ mol-1

Where ↔ indicates that the reaction can proceed in the forward and the
