Answer 2

Answer: -

Thus the entropy of the particles in the surroundings move slower and have decreased entropy.

Explanation: -

In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings.

So the particles in the surroundings lose energy to the system during an endothermic reaction.

Due to a loss in their kinetic energy, the particles move slower.

Thus the entropy of the particles in the surroundings move slower and have decreased entropy.
