Endothermic Reaction

Real World Example

Imagine walking into a chilly room and wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket to absorb the warmth from the surroundings. This is similar to an endothermic reaction, where the system absorbs heat from its environment to proceed, just like ice melting into water. In both cases, whether it's you absorbing warmth to feel comfortable or ice absorbing heat to melt, the core idea is that energy is being taken in from the surroundings to facilitate a change.
