How might a scientist compare theories by doing an experiment? A. Make sure that the experiment is properly controlled.
B. Do an experiment which could only apply to one of the theories.
C. Check if the experiment gives the same results when it is repeated.
D. See which theory does a better job of explaining the results of the experiment.

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.
