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!).

∙ 14y agobecause the egg takes in the heat during cooking, and doesn't release it. The heat circulates through the egg when it is cooking, making this reaction endothermic

Is frying an egg an chemical or physical change?
chemical
Why is the process of baking a cake an endothermic reaction?
The top answer ("the temperature of the bread goes up and the temperature of its surrounding will go down") is a terrible answer because whether baking bread is endothermic or exothermic depends on whether the chemical reactions that take place in the bread release energy or bind energy. That has absolutely nothing to do with the bread getting hot in the oven. Even a brick gets hot inside an oven yet there are no chemical processes occurring.
What type of reaction occurs when an egg cooks in a pan?
This is a thermal degradation reaction.
Which choice is an example of an endothermic process?
Endothermic basically means "warm-blooded", so it includes all mammals and birds. Humans, dogs, cats, rats, hippos, rhinos, elephants, and giraffes are all examples of endothermic creatures.
If you fry an egg it turns white and goes solid is it a chemical reaction?
Yes.
Cracking a raw egg endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic because the egg is absorbing the heat.
Is cooking an egg an example of exothermic?
An egg would be endothermic. Energy to cook the egg would be absorbed by the pan.
Are platypus endothermic or exothermic?
Platypuses are endothermic. Platypuses are monotremes, which are egg-laying mammals, and all mammals are endothermic. This means that they regulate their body temperature by internal processes and that their body temperature is constant.
Is frying an egg a synthesis reaction?
Frying an egg is a synthesis reaction. The combination of heat which causes a reaction in the egg whites creates a chemical reaction. When you take these simple components and create a complex reaction this is a prime example of a synthesis reaction.
What is the chemical reaction in frying egg?
its hard to return back
Cooking an egg in a frying pan is an example of what?
A chemical reaction?
Is boiling an egg endothermic or exothermic?
It is endothermic as the water mus gain energy to go from a liquid to a gas.
Is frying an egg a chemical or physical reaction?
it is a chemical reaction because it is changing chemically.
When you fry an egg and it becomes solid is that a chemical reaction?
Yes, frying an egg is an example of a chemical change that is the result of chemical reactions.
Is frying a egg a chemical change or a phyiscal change?
Frying an egg is a chemical reaction - or change. The chemical composition of the egg changes when it is fried, and cannot be reversed.
Is digesting food exothermic?
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.
What type of reaction occurs when an egg is cooked in a pan?
Endothermic, because energy is absorbed from the surrounding (Apex Physics 2023)
