Yeah, endothermic means that the heat is basically sucked out of it... or released while in an exothermic reaction, the heat is gathered or taken in.
Take for example hot gas in a glass container: if it is cooled down of placed into a tub of ice, the gas will condense and the gas forms into droplets of liquid on the sides of the container and then drops to the bottom once there's enough of it.

∙ 11y agoAn endothermic reaction is hot because it absorbs energy. Which increases tempature.
An exothermic reaction is cold because it releases energy. Which decreases tempature.
Examples: ice melting- endo
water freezing- exo

∙ 8y agoA decrease in temperature of WHAT? An endothermic reaction is one in which heat is ADDED to the system so the temperature of the system will INCREASE. This will result in a DECREASE in the temperature of the surroundings.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoIt is true it does result in a decreasion of temperature.

∙ 13y agoIn my beleif exothermic lets out heat so it gets colder and enothermic atracts heat and gets warmer!!!
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo they don't. Endothermic reactions require energy to make them happen; exothermic reactions are the kind that release energy when they happen.

∙ 12y agoIf the system absorbs heat (so the test tube gets cold).
If the products have more energy than the reactants.

When solid kbr is dissolved in water the solution gets colder is this endothermic or exothermic?
endothermic.
When clothes are drying is it an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
The combustion is exothermic.
Which state changes are exothermic and endothermic?
freezing is exothermic, melting is endothermic, evaporation is endothermic, condensation is exothermic.
An endothermic reaction causes the surroundings to?
An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat energy from the surrounding environment. Therefore, an ongoing endothermic reaction will cause its surroundings to become colder. In contrast, an exothermic reaction radiates heat energy into its surroundings, which will cause the ambient environment to get warmer.
Is a candle a endothermic or exothermic change?
exothermic- because exothermic gives off heat and endothermic is cold
When solid kbr is dissolved in water the solution gets colder is this endothermic or exothermic?
endothermic.
Is ice endothermic or exothermic?
Definitions Exothermic - accompanied by, or requiring, the release of heat. Endothermic - accompanied by, or requiring, the absorption of heat. Now, does the melting ice get warmer or colder? If it gets colder, then it is exothermic. If it gets warmer, then it is endothermic. Consider how we make ice - we put water into a cold place so that it gets colder with time.
When clothes are drying is it an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?
The combustion is exothermic.
Which state changes are exothermic and endothermic?
freezing is exothermic, melting is endothermic, evaporation is endothermic, condensation is exothermic.
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Is silicon endothermic or exothermic?
Silicon is an element - endothermic or exothermic is meaningless.
Is decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic reaction.
