Question

What occurs during electrolysis? Low-energy reactants become high-energy products. High-energy reactants become low-energy products. Unreactive elements become reactive elements. Reactive elements become unreactive elements.

Answer 1

Low-energy reactants become high-energy products.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Low-energy reactants become high-energy products.

Step-by-step explanation:

In electrolysis, you are forcing a reaction to occur that otherwise wouldn't happen.

You are pumping energy into the system and converting low-energy reactants into high-energy products.

B is wrong. Nature tends to run downhill energetically, so high-energy reactants tend to form low-energy products spontaneously.

C and D are wrong. If an element is unreactive, it stays unreactive, and vice versa. You can't change the nature of an element.
