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.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

This is one of the worst written question is have ever seen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you theres not much information

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

I have to agree with you @guillermo2cruzIII c. seems to be somewhat correct and the other answer choices seem rubbish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

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.
