Bond breaking is an endothermic process and bond making is an exothermic process. For which change is it not possible, from the equation, to deduce whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

ACl2(g) → 2Cl(g)
BH2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
CH2O(g) → 2H(g) + O(g)
DH(g) + Cl(g) → HCl(g)

✓ Correct answer

B: H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
