an endothermic process requires heat in order for the reaction to proceed in the forward (usual) direction. So it involves the use of heat as energy to initiate as well as continue the reaction

Is gas to liquid endothermic or exothermic?
The liquid to gas phase transformation (evaporation) is an endothermic process. It requires heat to be accomplished. The gas to liquid phase transformation (condensation) is an exothermic process. The vapor releases heat while condensing into a liquid.
Process requiring energy are termed what?
Endergonic; if the energy is supplied in the form of heat, endothermic.
What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction?
Exothermic (hyperthermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that releases energy,*Endothermic (hypothermic) reaction: a chemical reaction that absorbs energy.** Energy = heat, light, etc.The direction of Heat transfer:Exothermic reactions transfer heat energy to the environment.Endothermic reactions transfer heat energy from the environment .
Is liquid to solid exothermic?
No. Going from solid to liquid at constant temperature is an endothermic process. The required amount of energy is called "heat of fusion" of the material that changes state.
Do clear liquids absorb heat or reflect heat?
Reflect
Is ammonium chloride is an exothermic?
an exothermic what? If you dissolve it in water, it's an endothermic process, and will absorb heat.
Which chemical reaction is responsible for producing heat?
All the exothermic reactions produces heat energy whereas all endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surrounding. For example burning of a coal is a exothermic process and melting of a ice is a endothermic process.
Differentiate exothermic from endothermic reactions?
Exothermic reactions give out heat; Endothermic ones absorb heat.
Is vaporazation a exothermic change?
No, the liquid absorb heat.
What is exothermic process?
Exothermic is the process that exert heat or giving out energy to surrounding. Example of exothermic process such as condensing of steam or burning of fuel.
How does an endothermic process differ from an exothermic process?
An endothermic phase change is when the substance absorbs energy from its surroundings (melting, vaporization).In an exothermic phase change the substance releases energy to its surroundings (freezing, condensation)..
Is combustion exothermic or endothermic?
exothermic reactions are the reactions which give out heat and endothermic reactions are the reaction which absorb heat.so combustion is an exothermic reaction.
What is an exothermic process?
An exothermic change is a change that releases heat. Combustion is an exothermic chemical reaction.Adding water to sulfuric acid releases heat, called exothermic heat of mixing. Exothermic changes are the opposite of endothermic changes that absorb heat when they take place.
Is evapouration an exothermic or endothermic process?
Crystallization is considered an exothermic process. Hand warmers use the process of sodium acetate crystallization to produce heat.
Why is salt endothermic?
Not obligatory; the dissolution of sodium, calcium, potassium chlorides are exothermic.
Do all acid reactions give off heat?
No, endothermic reactions absorb heat. Exothermic gives off heat.
Is frezzing endothermic or exothermic?
In Chemistry, if a reaction produces heat it is an "exothermic" reaction. "Endothermic" reactions are the opposite, in that they suck up or absorb all heat, creating cold.
