Kathy is going to do an experiment in which she will grow bacteria in four prepared petri dishes: a sample swabbed from her unwashed hands a sample swabbed from her hands after washing them with regular soap another sample from her unwashed hands a sample taken after cleaning her hands with hand sanitizer What do you think the results will be? Write down your predictions for which samples will show the greatest and least bacteria growth.

it is the most commonly accepted one

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.
