Question

Explain what it means for a reaction to be endothermic and what would happen to the temperature recorded by a thermometer in an endothermic reaction

Answer 1

When a reaction is endothermic, it gains enthalpy from the surroundings, ending with a higher enthalpy. I believe the temperature would be perceived to be cold, because the energy goes from being in the solution to being in the chemical bonds that are in the solution.
