Madeleine · Answer 1

Endothermic

Explanation:

Exothermic means giving out of energy/heat and the taking in of energy/heat means endothermic reaction.

Cierra Norris · Answer 2

exothermic reaction

Explanation:

If there is a drop in temperature, then energy was lost to the surroundings because temperature is the average measure of kinetic energy. An exothermic reaction would result in this lost of energy. An endothermic reaction would absorb energy and make the temperature rise.
