How does the potential energy of the reactants compare to the potential energy of the products in an exothermic reaction, and where does the energy that is given off come from? explain your answer in complete sentences. my reactants were baking soda and vinegar.

The potential energy in reactants is higher than the potential energy of products in an exothermic reaction. Since energy is given off, the products are lower in energy than the reactants. The energy that is given off is a result of the formation of new bonds.

The metal is named first
