Well a mixture is less permanent and also it can be easily taken aprt where a compound does the opposite of those things.
Hope I helped :)
When reversing a given reaction, we simply change the sign of the standard enthalpy change value. Therefore, the reaction will become:
H₂O → H₂ + 0.5O₂, ΔH = 286kJ
This is because if a certain amount of energy is released when a reaction occurs, the same amount of energy must be supplied for the reaction to occur in the reverse direction.
Idk it’s making me answer a question in order to get help on my own
