A)
Which statement about the reaction that forms water is correct?
(1 point)
The reaction is endothermic because the total energy released by the products is greater than the energyabsorbed in the reactants.
The reaction is exothermic because the total energy absorbed in the reactants is greater than the energyreleased by the products.
The reaction is exothermic because the total energy released by the products is greater than the energyabsorbed in the reactants.
The reaction is endothermic because the total energy absorbed in the reactants is greater than the energyreleased by the products.

The correct choice is:
"The reaction is exothermic because the total energy released by the products is greater than the energy absorbed in the reactants."
When H–H and O=O bonds are broken, energy is absorbed; forming O–H bonds in H2O releases more energy than was absorbed, so net energy is released (exothermic).
