Endothermic processes
Endothermic processes are fundamental to chemistry and thermodynamics, representing reactions or changes that absorb heat from their surroundings. In these processes, energy is taken in from the environment, resulting in a decrease in temperature. This phenomenon is often observed in various chemical reactions, such as dissolving salts in water or photosynthesis in plants. Endothermic reactions play a crucial role in many industrial applications, such as cooling systems and chemical synthesis. Understanding these processes is essential for fields ranging from materials science to environmental science, shaping our understanding of energy transfer and transformation in natural and engineered systems.
