What is endothermic reaction?
An endothermic process is any process with an increase in the enthalpy H (or internal energy U) of the system.
[1] A closed system usually absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, which is heat transfer into the system.
It may be a chemical process, such as dissolving ammonium nitrate in water, or a physical process .
Example - The melting of ice cubes.
- Photosynthesis
- Melting
- Evaporation
- Sublimation
- Cracking of alkanes
- Thermal decomposition (oxidation)
- Hydrolysis
- Nucleosynthesis of elements heavier than nickel in stellar cores .
