Endothermic reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Chemistry an endothermic reaction is one in which the products have more energy than the reactants, and thus a net input of energy, usually in the form of heat, is required. |
 | | Endothermic reactions are often described as reactions that "feel cold", and contrast with exothermic reactions, in which heat is released. |
 | | The mixing of barium hydroxide and ammonium thiocynate causes a powerful endothermic reaction that causes the products to become so cold that the moisture from the air forms a layer of frost on the outer surface of the beaker. |
