question 2 (1 point)
potential energy diagram
use the potential energy diagram. what is shown by the letter c?
the activation energy of the forward reaction
the activation energy of the reverse reaction
the transition state
the heat of reaction
the entropy of the reaction

Explanation:

• The heat of reaction ($\Delta H$) is the difference in potential energy between the reactants and the products.
• In a potential - energy diagram, if we consider the overall change from the reactant energy level to the product energy level, this difference is represented.
• The activation energy of the forward reaction is the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state (represented by $B$ in a typical diagram). The activation energy of the reverse reaction would be the energy difference between the products and the transition state. The transition state is the peak of the energy curve. Entropy is a measure of disorder and is not directly represented as a simple vertical difference in a potential - energy diagram focused on energy levels.

Answer:

the heat of reaction
