The chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed is known as __________ reaction. [endothermic/exothermic]
The term "endothermic reaction" refers to a reaction in which a system absorbs energy from its surroundings in the form of heat. Photosynthesis, evaporating liquids, melting ice, dry ice, alkanes cracking, thermal decomposition, ammonium chloride in water, and many other endothermic processes are examples. The opposite of an endothermic reaction is an exothermic reaction. It gives off energy to its surroundings in the form of light or heat. Neutralization, burning a substance, fuel reactions, deposition of dry ice, respiration, sulfuric acid solution in water, and many other processes are examples. The chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed is known as endothermic reaction.
