In an exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. which of the following is also true for an exothermic reaction? the enthalpy change is negative it requires a catalyst to take place energy is absorbed from the surroundings the kinetic energy of the products is also lower

the enthalpy change is negative

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which potential energy of the product is greater than the potential energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which potential energy of the product is lesser than the potential energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be negative.

law of conservation of matter

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).
