Is sweat endothermic or exothermic?
endothemic because it reduces temperature of skin by evaporating. reducing is the key word
Is evaporating rubbing alcohol on skin endothermic?
Water evaporation is an endothermic process.
What is the type of chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed?
Endothermic reactions.Endo- means 'inside' which is where the energy ends up.Exothermic reactions give off energy. Exo- means 'outside'. Think that a spider sheds an 'exo'skeleton, or a skin on the outside.
Is alcohol evaporation endothermic or exothermic?
Always endothermic. Liquids absorb heat from the surroundings through evaporation, and keeps continuing this to regain lost energy. This produces a cooling effect in the surroundings.
How do you treat for acetone on the skin?
Rinse with water.

Is evaporating rubbing alcohol on skin endothermic?
Water evaporation is an endothermic process.
Why is evaporating from water from your skin a cooling process?
Evaporation is an endothermic process, absorb energy.
Why is acetone cooler than water?
It is not cooler, it feels cooler because acetone is far more volatile than water, so it absorbs more heat from your skin when you feel it evaporating from the skin (using it as nail polish remover)
Can acetone peel or crack your skin?
Yes, acetone sucks the moisture from your skin.
Is acetone a rubbing alcohol?
NO - acetone is not good for your skin !

Can acetone penetrate the skin?
yes
What skin problems may result from repeated contact with acetone?
Since Acetone is in quite a few rubs, creams ect. that are applied to skin, The most acetone can cause is mild irritation.
Is alcohol evaporation endothermic or exothermic?
Always endothermic. Liquids absorb heat from the surroundings through evaporation, and keeps continuing this to regain lost energy. This produces a cooling effect in the surroundings.
Is a walrus endothermic or exothermic?
Walruses are mammals and homeothermic. A walrus's core body temperature is about 36.6ºC (97.9ºF). Even with the insulating blubber, the skin stays about 1º to 3ºC (1.8º - 5.4ºF) warmer than the water.
How do you treat for acetone on the skin?
Rinse with water.
