What is true about energy? Energy cannot be created during an ordinary chemical reaction. Energy is used up during an explosion. There is more energy after a chemical reaction than before the reaction. When water melts, energy is created in the form of heat.

i wanna say c or d
@guillermo2cruzIII why in the world would it be d. melting water is endothermic
i was thinking of something completely different i would say c then
This is one of the worst written question is have ever seen.
thank you theres not much information
I have to agree with you @guillermo2cruzIII c. seems to be somewhat correct and the other answer choices seem rubbish
thank you and theres not much going on in the question its hard to determine whats right or wrong with the way the information is set lol
C can't be correct because of the energy the products need to break the bonds, the ultimate energy of the transition state, and then the energy falls after that. Let me get a graph to show you.
Energy profile
The correct answer is actually A, though it is a trick question. Energy can not be created nor destroyed in any chemical reaction; it can only be converted from one form to another, such as chemical energy to thermal energy etc.
thanks
