what does line e represent?
energy of the reactants enthalpy of reaction
activation energy (forward) energy of the products
In a chemical reaction energy diagram, the enthalpy of reaction (ΔH) is the difference in energy between products and reactants. Here, line E shows the energy difference between the initial (reactants) and final (products) states. The "energy of reactants" is the initial energy level, "activation energy (forward)" is the energy needed to start the reaction (peak - reactants' energy), and "energy of products" is the final energy level. So E represents the enthalpy of reaction.
