Question

Food cooking is an example of an endothermic reaction, because _____.

Answer 1

Food cooking is an example of an endothermic reaction, because removing the source of heat would cause the reactions to stop

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Cooking food is an example of endothermic or the heat-absorbing reaction where heat is absorbed by the system from the surrounding. Food is cooked by absorbing heat from the surroundings. Hence the temperature of the surrounding decreases.

Now when the source of heat is removed that would cause the reactions to stop. In an endothermic reaction an external heat is required for the reaction to proceed. Hence when the heat  is removed and as the product is not that stable it is liable to stop the reaction.
