Bot GPT 4-o mini The correct description of the energy graph for the endothermic reaction between ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH) and sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) is:
A. The energy of the reactants is lower than the energy of the products. The graph shows an upward slope as the reaction absorbs energy from the surroundings.
In endothermic reactions, the products have higher energy than the reactants because energy is absorbed from the surroundings. Thus, the energy graph will show an upward trend as it indicates the absorption of energy during the reaction.
