Question

choose the correct nature of the energy profile diagram of an exothermic reaction.

uphill

downhill

neither uphill nor downhill

parabola

Explanation:

In an exothermic reaction, energy is released. The energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants. On an energy - profile diagram, this means that the reaction progresses from a higher energy level (reactants) to a lower energy level (products), which is similar to going downhill.

Answer:

Downhill
