I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Catalysts lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction. It <span>is a substance which speeds up a reaction, but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. It provides another pathway for the reaction to occur.</span>
Answer:
D. Exothermic.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the potential energy versus reaction progress diagrams are related to the energetic profile of a chemical reaction, we can set the initial point at the beginning of the reaction as the energy of the reactants and the final point as the energy of the products.
Next, since the change in the enthalpy of a reaction is quantified by subtracting products minus reactants, we can see that the products have less energy than the reactants and therefore ΔH for this reaction is negative, which matches with the definition of D. Exothermic reaction.

Halides is the term given to the ions of halogens. Halogens are the second-to-the-last column or period in the periodic table. Examples are chlorine, fluorine, bromine and iodine. Halides are all soluble in water except when combine with silver, lead and mercury. <em>Therefore, the generalization we can make is that silver halides are insoluble in water,</em>
