26 kJ of energy is absorbed by the reaction. Option D is correct.
One or more compounds, known as reactants, are transformed into one or more distinct substances, known as products. Such a process is known as a chemical reaction.
Given data;
Potential energy,E₁ = 30 kJ
The energy that the reactant contains, E₂ = 4 kJ
The energy absorbed is, E
The energy before and after the reaction remains constant;
Energy before the reactants = Energy of the product
E₁ + E = E₂
E = E₂ - E₁
E = 30 kJ - 4 kJ
E = 26 kJ
Hence,26 kJ of energy is absorbed by the reaction.
