yes, your adding heat.
It is an endothermic process.
endothermic
This is an endothermic process (need energy for melting), a physical change..
Endothermic Process.
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.
This is an endothermic process.
Endothermic
Melting is an endothermic process.
No, it's exothermic. Think of it as ENdothermic as heat ENtering and EXothermic as in EXit. That's an easy way to remember it.
Melting is endothermic. Freezing is exothermic.
False.The original answer (now deleted ) said that the melting of ice is an endothermic reaction.If you need to convince yourself of this, take half a glass of water at room temperature. Put in a thermometer, wait a while, then record the temperature.Now add a few ice cubes; wait a while, then check the temperature again. If the melting of ice were an exothermic process, the water would then be warmer. Since you will actually find the water to be cooler, it is an endothermic process.
The equation for the butter melting process is one pot plus butter plus heat. If the heat is microwave then the equation would be one container (no-metal) with cover plus butter plus heat.
