An endothermic reaction has a) a negative δh, absorbs heat from the surroundings, and feels cold to the touch. b) a positive δh, gives off heat to the surroundings, and feels warm to the touch. c) a negative δh, gives off heat to the surroundings, and feels warm to the touch. d) a positive δh, absorbs heat from the surroundings, and feels cold to the touch. e) a positive δh, absorbs heat from the surroundings, and feels warm to the touch

D) a positive ΔH, absorbs heat from the surroundings, and feels cold to the touch.

Explanation:

The enthalpy of reaction, ΔH, is the difference between the enthalpies of the products and the enthalpies of the reactants:

The enthalpy of reaction can be positive or negative, depending on the process.  For an endothermic process (heat absorbed by the system from the surroundings), ΔH is positive (that is, ΔH is greater than 0). Since the system is absorbing heat, it feels cold to the touch.

For an exothermic process (heat released by the system  to the surroundings), ΔH is negative (that is, ΔH is smaller than 0). Since the system is releasing heat, it feels warm to the touch.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
