When a chemical reaction occurs in which the products are more stable than the reactants, the potential energy of the reactants is completely transferred to the products. some of the potential energy of the reactants is transformed into kinetic energy. the total amount of kinetic and potential energy of the chemicals in the reaction decreases. the potential energy of the products is greater than the potential energy of the reactants. the total amount of kinetic and potential energy of the chemicals in the reaction increases.
