Is stone exothermic or endothermic

Answer 1

It depends on the situation. Suppose the stone is placed in a cup of hot water. It is now endothermic because it absorbs some of the heat. But if it is placed in a cup of frigid water, it is exothermic because it will release some of its heat as it drops in temperature.

Endothermic or exothermic are terms used for processes, phenomenons, reactions not for materials.

Answer 2

The process of forming stone is typically exothermic, as it releases heat as the minerals solidify and crystallize. However, when stone is broken down into smaller pieces or powdered, this process can be endothermic as it requires energy to break the chemical bonds holding the stone together.
