Reactant p contains 50 j of energy, and reactant q contains 35.3 j of energy. the reactants combine to form product pq, which contains 104 j of energy. what is the energy transformation? energy is absorbed because the product has more energy than the reactants have. energy is absorbed because the product has less energy than the reactants have. energy is lost because the product has more energy than the reactants have. energy is lost because the product has less energy than the reactants have.

The energy transformation is that the energy is absorbed because the product has more energy than the reactants have. Chemical energy is the energy stored within a substance through the bonds of chemical compounds. Often, chemical energy is released in the form of heat, and this transformation from chemical energy to heat, or thermal energy is called an exothermic reaction. Other times energy is absorbed and this transformation from thermal energy to chemical energy is called the Endothermic reactions.
