An egg would be endothermic. Energy to cook the egg would be absorbed by the pan.
The egg requires heat to be cooked. This means that in order to start the frying "reaction", a certain number of joules of heat have to be added to the frying pan, which transfers the heat to the egg. The egg solidifies as a result of the frying reaction.If frying the egg was exothermic, the egg would produceheat when fried (which would be very strange!).
A chemical reaction?
It is true to say that it could be either, but most would agree that cooking food is endothermic - food takes in the heat during cooking, and doesn't release it while cooking. The heat is circulated through the food when it is cooking, making it endothermic. Some foods release the heat, but this is only after the food has been cut.Cooking an egg is an endothermic process. The egg absorbs the heat from the water and does not release it. Perhaps if you are making hard boiled eggs you could say that it is both - endothermic while cooking and exothermic while cooking. Though the cooking process is absolutely endothermic.
exothermic
Cooking an egg is a chemical reaction because of how the proteins of the egg change through the heating process. The heating of the egg white, for example, converts the amino acids to a different protein arrangement that is of bound texture.
No because in an exothermic change energy is released not taken in. Melting would be an example of exothermic change.
Endothermic because the egg is absorbing the heat.
It is exothermic, since it evolves heat. ^^ according to my Chemistry teacher, it's exothermic and endothermic.
It is exothermic. Take for example H2SO4 H2SO4 -> H+ + HSO4- This is very exothermic
For example in an exothermic chemical reaction.
is example of exothermic
To invert basically means, "turn upside down". Example: Invert the egg timer so you can time the cooking for a boiled egg.
