It can be either. Some exothermic processes, such as combustion, are chemical changes while others, such as condensation, are physical.

No, it is a physical change, not a chemical reaction.


Is a bicycle changes color as it rusts a chemical or a physical change?

It is a chemical change. Here oxidation of Iron occurs and being oxidation reaction, it is 'exothermic' reaction.Through it takes prolonged period and it is difficult to observe it, you can deduct it. As 'all' oxidation reactions are 'exothermic'.


When energy is given off as heat the physical change is said to be?

Exothermic


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.


What change is exothermic chemical change?

A reaction in which heat is given out.


Is freezing an example of an exothermic chemical change?

No because in an exothermic change energy is released not taken in. Melting would be an example of exothermic change.


Is melting of ice a physical process or a chemical process?

Physical. The chemical makeup of the water doesn't change, and no heat is absorbed or discharged (endo/exothermic).


Is the reaction of magnesium sulfate and water exothermic or endothermic?

It is not a chemical reaction, it is dissolution; this physical process is exothermic.
