Question
**What is the following diagram representing?**

The diagram is an energy profile of a chemical reaction, showing how energy changes during the progress of a reaction. 

- **Y-axis:** Energy
- **X-axis:** Progress of reaction

- **Energy Levels:**
  - **Energy of reactants:** Initial energy level.
  - **Activation energy:** The peak energy required to initiate the reaction.
  - **Energy of products:** Final energy level.
  - **Heat of reaction:** Difference in energy between reactants and products.

- **Arrow and Labels:**
  - An upward arrow on the left represents energy.
  - A rightward arrow at the bottom labeled "Progress of reaction" indicates the direction of the reaction from reactants to products.

The diagram represents an exothermic reaction where energy is released, as shown by the energy of the products being lower than the energy of the reactants.

**Answer Options:**
- [●] Exothermic reaction, heat is released
- [○] Endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed
- [○] Exothermic reaction, heat is absorbed
- [○] Endothermic reaction, heat is released

The correct answer is selected: **Exothermic reaction, heat is released.**
