Question

Which term below best describes a potential energy diagram in which the potential energy value of the reactants is less than that of the products? Activation energy Calorimetry Exothermic process Endothermic process

Answer 1

When energy of the products is greater than the energy of reactants, that is endothermic.

Answer 2

Endothermic reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be destroyed nor created, it can however be changed from one form to another. When reactants take in energy, in what we call an endothermic reaction, the energy does not disappear, it is instead stored in the eventual products as potential energy. This is why the products will have more potential energy than the reactants.
