Question

AB+CD (reactant~higher on graph) ---> AC+BD (product~lower on graph)

Answer 1

Answer: Option E) the products have less potential energy than the reactants

Explanation:

Though the actual graph is not displayed, but, whenever reactants occupy a position higher than the product on the graph of reaction coordinate vs time taken, it means the reactants (AB+CD) have molecules with higher energy bonds than the products AC +BD

Thus, the reaction of AB + CD to yield AC+BD will occur spontaneously with the release of energy.
