The energy provided by absorbing light can substitute for the heat energy that usually accelerates chemical reactions. More fundamentally, any endothermic chemical reaction can occur because an increase in entropy compensates for any heat absorbed by the reaction to make the free energy change negative.

A chemical reaction that absorbs free energy?
Can be called endothermic.
Chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed?
It is an endothermic reaction. An example is thermal decomposition.
Reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat?
Endothermic.
Is a reaction that gets hot exothermic or endothermic?
Endothermic
What is the sign of the enthalpy change for an endothermic reaction?
Endothermic reaction: In an endothermic reaction, the products are higher in energy than the reactants. Therefore, the change in enthalpy is positive, and heat is absorbed from the surroundings by the reaction therefore enthalpy change show positive sign in a endothermic reaction..
Is Digestion of food -endothermic or exothermic reaction?
digestion of food release energy, so it's exothermic reaction
What is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat?
An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, an exothermic reaction releases heat.
A chemical reaction that absorbs free energy?
Can be called endothermic.
A reaction that absorbs energy is called?
Endothermic-take in Heat, as opposed to exothermic which gives off heat-like a fire or explosion.
A chemical reaction that requires a net input of energy?
"Activation Energy reactions"; Endothermic reactions require energy.
Chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed?
It is an endothermic reaction. An example is thermal decomposition.
Is water gas reaction endothermic?
yes it is a endothermic reaction
What kind of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a Endergonic/Endothermic reaction.
What happens in an endothermic reaction?
An endothermic reaction need heat to occur.
What does endothermic reaction do?
There are two types of reactions, thermally. Endothermic and exothermic. An endothermic reaction absorbs heat and an exothermic reaction releases it.
How is sherbet an endothermic reaction?
Endothermic
What Defines an Endothermic Reaction?
An endothermic reaction need heat to begin.
