C(s) + 2H$_2$(g) $\rightarrow$ CH$_4$(g); $\Delta H = -74.8 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}$ Which of the following diagrams gives an accurate representation of the above reaction?
Show Hint
For exothermic reactions, the products are lower in energy than the reactants, and the enthalpy change (\(\Delta H\)) is negative. The energy profile typically shows a downward slope from reactants to products.
