in an endothermic reaction
1.energy is a product and the temperature of the surrounding environment increases
2.energy is a product and the temperature of the surrounding environment decreases
3.energy is a rectant and the temperature of the surrounding environment increases
4.energy is a reactant and the temperature of the surrounding environment decreases.
Reason this out. What does endo mean?
Here is an endothermic reaction.
A + B + heat ==> products.
In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surrounding environment. This means that the energy is a reactant and not a product. Therefore, options 1 and 2 can be eliminated.
Now, let's consider the effect of an endothermic reaction on the temperature of the surrounding environment. Since energy is absorbed from the surroundings, it leads to a decrease in the temperature of the surroundings. This eliminates option 3.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: energy is a reactant, and the temperature of the surrounding environment decreases in an endothermic reaction.
