How melting is endothermic?

Answer 1

The process of melting is endothermic because you are adding heat (or energy) to the object. When you add heat or energy to an object it begins to melt , Which tells you the object has reached its melting point or the temperature that the object melts at.

endothermic is adding heat or energy (ENdothermic means ENtering)

exothermic is removing heat or energy (EXothermic means EXiting).

Conversely, the process of freezing is exothermic.

And easy way to remember this is that when ice melts it makes things cold. This is because it is sucking in the heat.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

In order to melt a solid substance, you must raise its temperature. However, in order to raise an object's temperature, it must absorb energy, as is the definition of heat. Since endothermic means absorbing energy, melting must be endothermic.

Answer 4

Melting is endothermic process as during melting the heat is absorbed by the substance due to which kinetic energy of the molecules increases and the substance changes its state to liquid.

Answer 5

Yes. A solid must absorb energy in order to melt.

Answer 6

freezing is a exthodermic process.

Answer 7

It is an endothermic process.

Answer 8

Endothermic
