The figure above shows how the energy of a system varies as a chemical reaction proceeds. Match the numbers features labeled on the figure above to their corresponding statements below:
energy state of the reactants:
To match the energy state of the reactants on the figure, you need to look for the point or feature that represents the initial state before the chemical reaction occurs.
Here's how you can identify the energy state of the reactants on the figure:
1. Examine the figure: Look for the portion that represents the starting point of the chemical reaction.
2. Identify the horizontal axis: The horizontal axis on the figure typically represents the progress of the reaction, such as reaction coordinate or time.
3. Check the corresponding vertical axis: The vertical axis usually represents the energy or potential energy of the system.
4. Locate the reactant(s) on the graph: Find the point or feature on the graph that corresponds to the energy level of the reactants. The reactant(s) might be a single molecule or a combination of molecules.
Once you have identified the point or feature that represents the energy state of the reactants, you can match it to the corresponding statement.
