What is another word for endothermic reaction?
Pronunciation: [ˌɛndə͡ʊθˈɜːmɪk ɹɪˈakʃən] (IPA) 
Endothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction that absorbs energy from its surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature of the system. There are several synonyms for endothermic reaction, like heat-absorbing reaction, heat-consuming reaction, heat-inducing reaction, thermal reaction, exothermally-unfavorable reaction, energy intake reaction, cold reaction, and endoergic reaction. All these terms refer to the same process of absorbing energy to proceed with the chemical reaction. Endothermic reactions are vital to many natural and artificial processes, such as photosynthesis, evaporation, melting, and thermodynamically-driven cooling processes. Synonyms for this phenomenon are crucial in scientific literature for ease of communication and understanding of thermal processes.
