Question 6 • Physical Science

Two chemicals react in an endothermic reaction. What can be known about this reaction?

Answer
A
Heat is absorbed because the old substance needs more energy to break its bonds.
B
A precipitate will form as a result of the reaction.
C
Heat is released because the old substance needs less energy to break its bonds.
D
A gas will form as a result of the reaction.

Explanation

An endothermic reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings. This happens when breaking the bonds in the reactants requires more energy than forming bonds in the products releases, so choice C is correct. The reaction being endothermic does not tell us whether a precipitate or gas forms.
