The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

In endothermic reactions, heat is absorbed (imagine that heat would be a reactive in the reaction). The enthalpy (H) of the products is greater than that of the reagents and the deltaH is positive. An example of this reaction is the decomposition of H20:

2H20 - > 2H2 + 02
