2. A weather balloon has a volume of 35 L at sea level (1.0 atm). After the balloon is released it rises to where the air pressure is 0.75 atm. What will the new volume of the weather balloon be?

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.
