the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules
Explanation: Adding heat increases the thermal energy (temperature) so molecules move faster (higher kinetic energy). Activation energy is a barrier and doesn't change; potential energy of products only changes if a reaction occurs and absorbs/releases heat.
