what does line a represent?
energy of the products
activation energy (forward)
enthalpy of reaction
energy of the reactants
In a chemical energy diagram, the energy of reactants is the initial energy level before the reaction starts. Line A starts at the lowest energy level (reactants' energy) and is a vertical line representing that initial energy. The energy of products is the final level, activation energy is the energy needed to reach the transition state (difference between transition state and reactants), and enthalpy of reaction is the difference between products and reactants. So line A represents the energy of the reactants.
