The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway. (10 points) A curved lined graph is shown. The y axis of the graph has the title Potential Energy. The x axis of the graph has the title Reaction Pathway. The graph curve begins at a higher level and ends at a slightly lower level. A vertical line labeled A, starting from the x axis till the beginning of the graph line is shown. A vertical line labeled B, starting from the x axis till the uppermost hump in the graph curve is shown. Another vertical line labeled C is shown from starting from the x axis till the point where the graph curve ends.

Part 1: Does the diagram illustrate an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Part 2: Describe how you can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram and if each is positive or negative.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
