Question

(06.03r mc) which statement identifies a difference between endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions? endothermic reactions store energy and exothermic reactions release energy. endothermic reactions occur faster than exothermic reactions. endothermic reactions create organic matter and exothermic reactions create inorganic matter. endothermic reactions decompose matter and exothermic reactions synthesize matter.

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings and store it in the products. Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings. Reaction - speed is not related to whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic. There is no such rule that endothermic reactions create organic matter or decompose matter while exothermic reactions create inorganic matter or synthesize matter.

Answer:

Endothermic reactions store energy and exothermic reactions release energy.
