An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy from its surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature.
Some examples of endothermic reactions include melting ice, baking bread, and photosynthesis.
The amount of heat absorbed in an endothermic reaction can be determined by calculating the change in temperature of the reaction and using the specific heat capacity of the substances involved.
The heat absorbed in an endothermic reaction can be affected by factors such as the amount of reactants, the concentration of the reactants, and the presence of a catalyst.
An endothermic reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature, while an exothermic reaction releases heat to its surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature.
