the pressure a gas exerts on another object is caused by

a the chemical composition of the gas

b collisions between gas particles and the object

c collisions between gas particles

d the physical size of the gas particles

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.

they are all solids.
