    A reaction that absorbs energy from the solution and decreases the solution's temperature is called and endothermic reaction. A physical change that absorbs heat can also be described as endothermic.

    The opposite of endothermic is exothermic. A reaction that is exothermic releases energy to the surroundings. This is observed as an increase in the temperature of the solution.
