Question

In an endothermic reaction, the ______ have more energy than the _______.A. reactants, surroundingsB. surroundings, productsC. products, reactantsD. reactants, products

Answer 1

Products, reactants

Step-by-step explanation

An endothermic reaction is defined as a type of reaction in which heat is absorbed from the surroundings. In an endothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is always positive.

`\text{ }\Delta H\text{ = }\Sigma\Delta H_(products)\text{ - }\Sigma\Delta H_(reactants)\text{ ----- }\Delta H\text{ = +ve}`

Therefore, in an endothermic reaction, the products have more energy than the reactants.

Hence, the correct answer is option C
