Jose adds five grams of a chemical to one liter of liquid and observes a reaction. If the reaction is endothermic, what will happen?
A
The liquid's mass increases; therefore, the volume of the liquid will increase
B
The liquids' mass decreases; therefore, the volume of the liquid will decrease.
С
Energy is released during the reaction; therefore, the temperature of the liquid will increase.
Energy is absorbed during the reaction; therefore, the temperature of the liquid will decrease.
D

Answer:

D. Energy is absorbed during the reaction; therefore, the temperature of the liquid will decrease

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the reaction is said to be ENDOTHERMIC if the reaction utilizes or uses energy instead of given it off. In this reaction, Jose adds five grams of a chemical to one liter of liquid and observes the reaction.

According to this question, the reaction is ENDOTHERMIC. This means that energy is absorbed or used up during the reaction; therefore, the temperature of the liquid will decrease i.e. the liquid used in the reaction will become COLDER.
