False. An increase in temperature is an exothermic reaction. However, when a temperature decreases this is known as an endothermic reactionz
Answer:
B. as a food preservative in the manufacture of detergents
.........
In an endothermic reaction products are <u>HIGHER </u>than reactants in potential energy and <u>LESS </u>stable.
Explanation:
Energy is input into the reaction in an endothermic reaction. This means the products are of a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore the reaction increases Gibb's free energy and reduces entropy. Remember in thermodynamic stability involves an increase in entropy and a decrease in Gibbs free energy. Therefore the products are less stable than the reactants. This is why endothermic reactions do not occur spontaneously like exothermic reactions.
