Answer:
It is greater than the potential energy of the products.
Explanation:
- The graph shown the potential energy diagram of the reaction "reaction pathway".
- X-axis represents the reaction progress, the transformation from the reactants to the products passing via the transition state.
- Y-axis represents the potential energy of the reactants and the products and also the intermediate.
- As clear from the attached image "A + B" represents the position of the reactants of the reaction and "C" represents the position of the products of the reaction.
- It is obvious that the energy of the reactants is greater than the potential energy of the products.
So, the right choice is: It is greater than the potential energy of the products.
