E)the temperature of the system increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed by the system from the surroundings. This results in a decrease in the temperature of the surroundings while the temperature of the system may remain constant or increase slightly. The products of an endothermic reaction have more energy than the reactants, which means that the ΔH (enthalpy change) of the reaction is positive.
