When the products of the reaction have more energy than the reactants What happens?

The question has no meaning - increase what? Increase concentration? If so, increased concentration usually increases reaction rate as the reactants can "find" one another more often/quickly. But there are limits - as concentration increases, so does stearic hinderance - eventually hinderance will dominate.

∙ 6y agoThe reactants will react (to make products) until one of the reactants runs out at which point the reaction stops and the unused reactants remain as they were.
Note also that in some reactions the product can decompose back into its reactants and when this happens an equilibrium is achieved between the rate of the reactions and the rate of disassociation. In this case the reactants continue to react but their concentrations stays the same.

∙ 9y agoThe excess of chemical energy has to be put IN (endothermic reaction), in most cases you'll put in heat but compression might be possible for some type of gaseous reactions.

In an exothermic reaction is the energy of the products higher or lower than that of the reactants?
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.
How are reactants converted to products in an elementary reaction?
A product of a chemical reaction is the substance that is formed.
What statement describes the potential energy diagram of an exothermic reaction?
The difference in potential energy between the reactants and products.
What happens to the reaction during endothermic and exothermic reaction?
During an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, causing the reaction to feel cold. The reactants have less energy than the products, so energy is absorbed to form the products. In an exothermic reaction, heat is released into the surroundings, making the reaction feel hot. The reactants have more energy than the products, so energy is released during the reaction.
How is matter and energy conserved in a chemical reaction?
The reactant's/reactants' energy is rarely every seen in the products.
In an exothermic reaction is the energy of the products higher or lower than that of the reactants?
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.
Do endothermic reaction have reactants with more energy than its products?
Kinetic energy has more energy than products.
What is a type of chemical reaction where the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants?
When a reaction has products that have a lower temperature than the reactants did, the reaction is endothermic.
When do reactions that release energy happen?
The release of energy (exothermic reaction) happens when the energy release by forming the products of the reaction is greater than the energy required to break the bonds of the reactants.
What is the sign for Energy change of an endothermic reaction?
The products of the reaction will have less energy than the reactants
What is the best term to describe a chemical reaction in which the reactants have less potential energy than the products?
A chemical reaction whose reactants have less potential energy than the products would be called an endothermic reaction.
What are components of the chemical reaction?
reactants and products and bond energy creates a chemical reaction
How are reactants converted to products in an elementary reaction?
A product of a chemical reaction is the substance that is formed.
What statement describes the potential energy diagram of an exothermic reaction?
The difference in potential energy between the reactants and products.
What type of energy starts a reaction to overcome an energy barrier between reactants and products?
Activation energy
When reactants combine the resulting products need to have what reactants?
Any chemical reaction need an activation energy to occur.
What happens to the reaction during endothermic and exothermic reaction?
During an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, causing the reaction to feel cold. The reactants have less energy than the products, so energy is absorbed to form the products. In an exothermic reaction, heat is released into the surroundings, making the reaction feel hot. The reactants have more energy than the products, so energy is released during the reaction.
