Which statement is true of energy in reactants during an endothermic reaction?(1 point)

Some of the energy in the reactants will remain in them after the reaction, but some is lost to the
surroundings.
All of the energy from the reactants will be lost to the surroundings.
The energy found in the reactants remains in the system, and the reactants also take energy from the
surroundings.
All of the energy from the reactants will remain in the system.

1 answer

The correct statement is: The energy found in the reactants remains in the system, and the reactants also take energy from the surroundings.

In an endothermic reaction, the reactants absorb energy from their surroundings, leading to a decrease in the temperature of the surroundings. While some energy remains in the system as part of the products, the reactants also require additional energy input to proceed with the reaction.
