makes it colder since the ice that is melting is taking the heat in from the water around it to cause it to melt that is why you put ice in your ice water and it gets colder

If a test tube is full of water at 20 digrese in time would the water continue to get colder?

The future temperature of the water depends upon the surrounding air's temperature. So if the air around the test tube is colder than 20 degrees, then the water will get colder. If the air temperature is warmer than 20 degrees then the water will get warmer.


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.
