Krista Fox · Answer 1

The answer is (3) the potential energy of the products - the potential energy of the reactants. The reaction energy production can be represented by the change of energy of products and reactants.

Peyton Pierce · Answer 2

Correct Answer: Option 3 i. e. (the potential energy of the products) - (the potential energy of the reactants)

Reason:

Heat of reaction for a chemical reaction is the change in the enthalpy of a chemical reaction that occurs at a constant pressure. This can be measured on the basis of potential energy of reactants and products. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Heat of reaction = ΔH = ΣH products - ΣHr reactants.
