Solution

The correct energy profile for this reaction would be an exothermic reaction profile. This is because the ΔH value is negative (-1368 kJ/mol CH3CH2OH), indicating that the reaction releases heat. In an energy profile of an exothermic reaction, the energy of the reactants is higher than the energy of the products. The difference in energy levels represents the energy released during the reaction.
