The reaction beaker feels warm when she picks it up.

1 answer

In an endothermic reaction, the system absorbs heat from the surroundings, which typically results in a decrease in temperature of the materials involved in the reaction. Therefore, the correct response is:

The temperature of the materials goes down as the chemical reaction progresses.
