In the reaction 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, the reactants are hydrogen gas (H₂) and oxygen gas (O₂). Two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen to produce two molecules of water (H₂O) and release energy in the process.
The reaction you've provided is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). This is a decomposition reaction where hydrogen peroxide breaks down into its constituent elements.
Activation energy is the distance from the reactants to the top of the "hill."
The chemical energy needed for reactants to form products is called activation energy. This energy is required to initiate a chemical reaction by breaking bonds in the reactants.
In a chemical equation, the elements/compounds listed on the left side, are the reactants. The right side contains the products of the reaction. eg, 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O. The Hydrogen combines with the Oxygen to from the product, Water.
You might mean the reactants, the reactants for photosynthesis are 6CO2 + 6H2O+ light energy. The products from these reactants are Oxygen, Glucose. Photosynthesis: 6CO2+6H2O+light energy--->6O2+C6H12O6.

Water can be broken down to oxygen and hydrogen and hydrogen can be ignited in oxygen to form water. 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2 (takes energy) 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O (releases energy)
The chemical equation you provided is incomplete. A balanced chemical equation should include both reactants and products, along with coefficients indicating the number of molecules involved. If you provide the complete equation, I'd be happy to help with any questions you may have.
The reactants are the substances that react together; the reactants are on the left side of the equation. The product (or products) are what is produced from the reaction, which is on the right side of the equation. For example: 2H2 + O2 --> 2(H2O) The reactants are H2 & O2 and the product is H2O

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen can either produce water (2H2 + O2 → 2H2O) or explode (2H2 + O2 → 2H2O + energy). It depends on factors such as the presence of a catalyst or the conditions (e.g., concentration, temperature) under which the reaction occurs.
As this is an exothermic reaction, you would draw a line at a high level to represent the reactants, and one lower down for the products. The reaction path would be represented by a line which goes up from the reactants, curves over and goes down to the products.
Activation energy is the distance from the reactants to the top of the "hill."
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the products is less than that of the reactants.
The equation c) 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (g) is an example of a thermochemical equation because it shows the reactants and products with energy change included, but it doesn't explicitly mention the heat added or released during the reaction.
The chemical energy needed for reactants to form products is called activation energy. This energy is required to initiate a chemical reaction by breaking bonds in the reactants.
The difference in potential energy between the reactants and products.
