A gas in a cylinder with a moveable piston has an initial volume of 88.4 mL and is heated from 37 °C to 163 °C. What is the volume of the gas in milliliters (mL) reported to 4 sig figs? [Note: Do not forget to convert the temperature to Kelvin scale using K = °C + 273.15]

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
