Question

During endothermic reaction, energy is _____________

Open in App

Solution

All chemical reactions involve energy. Energy is used to break bonds in reactants, and energy is released when new bonds are formed in products. Endothermic reactions absorb energy.
In endothermic reactions, more energy is absorbed when the bonds in the reactants are broken than is released when new bonds are reformed in the products.
During the endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed.

(c) a combination reaction which is endothermic

(d) an oxidation reaction which is exothermic

Q. If the reactants are at a higher energy level than products, the reaction is exothermic. The activation energy of a forward reaction is less than that of the backward reaction. That means, the energy required for breaking of bonds is less than the energy released during formation of bonds. In case of an endothermic reaction, the activation energy of the forward reaction is more than that of backward reaction.
