Video transcript

Hey, everyone were asked for the diagram below, Does it show an increase or a decrease in the system's internal energy? Now, when we assess this diagram, we can see that the energy of our reactant is much greater than the energy of our products. So essentially we can see that there is a decrease in internal energy, which is going to be our final answer. Now, I hope that made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
