a) the boiling point would increase
b) the boiling point would decrease
c) the boiling point would not change
d) the boiling point would cease to exist, and it would be impossible for
the water to boil

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.
