Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of reaction will feel cold?
A
exothermic
B
exergonic
C
endothermic
D
none of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endothermic reactions are the opposite of exothermic reactions. They absorb heat energy from their surroundings. This means that the surroundings of endothermic reactions are colder as a result of the reaction. Melting ice is an example of this type of reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment. The absorbed energy provides the activation energy for the reaction to occur. A hallmark of this type of reaction is that it feels cold.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is an example of an exothermic reaction. You can see, heat is absorbed during the above reaction, lowering the temperature of the reaction mixture, and thus the reaction flask feels cold.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you touch a container that holds an endothermic process, it will feel cool to the touch. An exothermic process results when heat energy is released, decreasing the internal energy of the system. If you touch a container that holds an exothermic process, it will feel warm or hot to the touch.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endothermic Reactions A few examples of the endothermic process are photosynthesis, evaporating liquids, melting ice, dry ice, alkane cracking, thermal decomposition, ammonium chloride in water and much more.
