An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.”

What happens to heat in an endothermic reaction?

Endothermic reactions are reactions that require external energy, usually in the form of heat, for the reaction to proceed. ... Therefore, the change in enthalpy is positive, and heat is absorbed from the surroundings by the reaction.

Is endothermic absorbing or releasing heat?

An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.”
