Question

A student made a sketch of a potential energy diagram to represent an exothermic reaction.

Answer 1

This diagram is incorrect because in an exothermic reaction, the amount of potential energy in of the reactants is higher than that of the products because energy is being released. In this diagram, the potential energy of the products is higher than the reactants, which would represent an endothermic reaction because energy is being absorbed. If you simply look up exothermic reactions and endothermic reactions, you can view countless images of digrams that show this.

Answer 2

Answer:

This is not correct

Step-by-step explanation: I am just a 6th grader but i know this question, it is not correct because potential energy is mostly staying in one place this would be kenetic energy because it is moving.
