Endothermic reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003906",
  "term": "Endothermic reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings, resulting in a positive standard enthalpy of reaction (ΔH° > 0). For the reaction to proceed, energy must be supplied to the system, causing a decrease in the temperature of the immediate environment. The dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is a common example of an endothermic process.",
