Question

select the correct answer. in a given chemical reaction, the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. which statement is true for this reaction? a. energy is absorbed in the reaction. b. energy is released in the reaction. c. no energy is transferred in the reaction. d. energy is created in the reaction. e. energy is lost in the reaction.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction where products have greater energy than reactants, energy is absorbed from the surroundings (endothermic reaction). Energy cannot be created or lost (conservation law), and a net energy transfer occurs, making A correct.

Answer:

A. Energy is absorbed in the reaction.
