The energy diagram shows the changes in energy during a chemical reaction.
Which statement best describes the total energy change of the system?
Potential energy
Reaction progress
A. The reactants have higher potential energy, and energy is released.
B. The reactants have higher potential energy, and energy is
absorbed.
C. The products have higher potential energy, and energy is released.
D. The products have higher potential energy, and energy is
absorbed.

Answer 1

Option A: the reactants have higher potential energy, and energy is released.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'the reactants have higher potential energy and energy is absorbed' BEST best describes the total energy change of the system. Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
