Question
**Reaction Profile for the Reaction \(\text{O}_3 + \text{NO} \rightarrow \text{O}_2 + \text{NO}_2\)**

This diagram illustrates the energy changes during the chemical reaction between ozone (\(\text{O}_3\)) and nitric oxide (\(\text{NO}\)) forming oxygen (\(\text{O}_2\)) and nitrogen dioxide (\(\text{NO}_2\)). The graph is not to scale.

**Graph Explanation:**

- **Y-Axis (E in kJ):** Represents the energy in kilojoules.
- **X-Axis (Reaction Coordinate):** Represents the progression of the reaction from reactants to products.
- **Curve:** Shows the energy pathway of the reaction. 

**Energy Levels:**

- **Starting Energy (Reactants):** \(\text{O}_3 + \text{NO}\) has an energy level marked on the diagram.
- **Activation Energy (Ea):** The peak of the curve represents the energy of the activated complex, requiring an additional \(11 \, \text{kJ}\) above the reactants' energy.
- **Products Energy (O\(_2\) + NO\(_2\)):** The energy level of the products is lower than the reactants.

**Energy Change (ΔE):**

- \(200 \, \text{kJ}\) is the difference in energy from reactants to products, indicating that energy is released.

**Which of the following are true?** *(Choose all that apply.)*

- [ ] The energy of the products is **lower** than the energy of the reactants.
- [x] ΔE is **positive**.
- [x] The reaction is **exothermic**.
- [ ] If the energy of the activated complex were **increased**, Ea would **increase**.

This profile demonstrates that the reaction is exothermic, releasing more energy than initially absorbed, and the positive ΔE reflects the net energy release.
