Xin the reaction a b + c + heat, there is a net input of energy the potential energy of the products is greater than that of the reactant the potential energy of the products is the same as that of the reactant the potential energy of the products is less than that of the reactant entropy has decreased

Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat energy is liberated is known as an exothermic reaction.

For example,

In an exothermic reaction, energy of reactants is more than the energy of products.

This means that potential energy of products is less than the potential energy of reactants.

Thus, we can conclude that in the reaction , the potential energy of the products is less than that of the reactant.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

compass can be used day and night, cloudy or sunny
