Answer:

The temperature will decrease (get colder).

Step-by-step explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. The enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products and the sum of heat contents of reactants.

  • For an endothermic change, heat is absorbed for the reaction.
  • The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction and so is the reaction itself.
  • The right choice is that the temperature will decrease.
