Question

In an energy diagram for an endothermic reaction, the products are higher in energy than the reactants. TRUE FALSE

Answer 1

The statement is TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

In endothermic reactions, heat is absorbed (imagine that heat would be a reactive in the reaction). The enthalpy (H) of the products is greater than that of the reagents and the deltaH is positive. An example of this reaction is the decomposition of H20:

2H20 -> 2H2 + 02
