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.

Which statement describes the law of conservation of energy?

All systems will exchange matter and energy with their surroundings.

All systems can exchange energy, but not matter, with their surroundings.

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it changes from one form to another.

Energy is destroyed in most chemical reactions when new products are formed.
