Answer 1

The correct statement about the reaction that forms water is:

The reaction is exothermic because the total energy released by the products is greater than the energy absorbed in the reactants.

In the formation of water (from hydrogen and oxygen), energy is released as the chemical bonds in the products (water) are formed, indicating that the reaction is exothermic.
