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.

Is cold pack exothermic or endothermic?

Endothermic- a change in which energy is taken in. The melting of ice is an endothermic change. Ice absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings when it melts. That's why you pack drinks and food in an ice-filled picnic cooler to keep them cold. So yes an ice cube is endothermic.

Endothermic. That is why it is used in ice packs.

What is a non-example of an exothermic reaction?

Any endothermic reaction, for instance photosynthesis.


Is melting ice endothermic or exothermic change?

Ice cream melting (or pretty much anything melting) is an endothermic process in that it requires the absorption of heat energy in order to occur. An example of an exothermic process is the burning of paper which gives off heat energy.


What is the opposite of exothermic?

The opposite of exothermic is endothermic. Exothermic reactions are those which give off energy in the form of heat. Endothermic reactions require energy.
