D. the potential energy of the reactants is low; the potential energy decreases gradually; then increases slightly.
Answer:

Explanation:
Let's rewrite the given word equation in its chemical balanced equation representation:
1. Lead(II) nitride is represented by lead, Pb, in an oxidation state of 2+, while nitride is a typical nitrogen anion with a state 3-. As a result, the lowest common multiple between 2 and 3 is 6, meaning 2 lead cations are needed to balance 3 nitrogen anions:
.
2. Ammonium sulfate consists of an ammonium cation with a 1+ charge and sulfate anion with a 2- charge, two ammonium cations needed:
.
3. Lead(II) sulfate would have one lead cation and one sulfate anion, as they have the same magnitude of charges with opposite signs:
.
4. Ammonium nitride would require three amonium cations to balance the nitride anion:
.
Let's write the balanced equation:

The mass of the water is 1.20 - 0.80 = 0.40 grams.
The % of water is (0.40 / 1.20 ) * 100 = 33 1/3%
