In a chemical reaction, the reactants combine to form the final product. Before making the final product, they form an intermediate complex: C + D → CD → E The reactants C and D form intermediate molecule CD and then molecule E. The enthalpy change of reaction does not depend on the Nature of reactants and products State of reactants and products Nature of the intermediate molecule Nature of C, D, and E Initial and final enthalpies of the reaction
