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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, endothermic reactions absorb heat from their surroundings (e.g. ice melting and “cooling” a drink). Conversely, exothermic reactions release heat to their surroundings (e.g. burning wood in a fireplace).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
