condensation freezing and deposition
Change of phase from gas to liquid to solid are exothermic reaction. Condensation, deposition and freezing are exothermic processes that undergo change in phase.
A solid is itself neither endothermic or exothermic. However the phase change from liquid to solid will likely be exothermic.
The phase change of sublimation is not correctly paired with the sign of its change in enthalpy. Sublimation involves the transition from solid to gas phase without passing through the liquid phase, and it is an endothermic process where heat is absorbed. The other phase changes—melting (endothermic), freezing (exothermic), vaporization (endothermic), and condensation (exothermic)—are correctly paired with the sign of their change in enthalpy.
It is an exothermic change
Yes, the process of liquid mercury changing to a vapor is exothermic. This means that heat is released during this phase change.
Freezing is an exothermic change because it releases energy in the form of heat as the substance transitions from a higher energy liquid state to a lower energy solid state. The molecules in the liquid phase slow down and form a more orderly arrangement in the solid phase, resulting in the release of energy.
An endothermic phase change is when the substance absorbs energy from its surroundings (melting, vaporization).In an exothermic phase change the substance releases energy to its surroundings (freezing, condensation)..
Solid to liquid (melting): This phase change requires energy to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, resulting in an endothermic process. Liquid to gas (vaporization): This phase change requires energy to overcome the intermolecular forces between liquid molecules, also an endothermic process. Gas to liquid (condensation): This phase change releases energy as gas molecules lose kinetic energy, forming stronger intermolecular forces in the liquid phase, and is an exothermic process.
Exothermic
The melting of a candle is an endothermic process because heat is required to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid wax together and convert it into a liquid. Energy is absorbed during this phase change.
An endothermic change requires heat, and an exothermic change releases heat.
Solid to gas (sublimation) is endothermic (takes in heat).In other words:A phase change from the solid state to the gas state is endothermic.Sublimation is endothermic (takes in energy).Heat energy must be provided to make it work.When there is a change of state from a solid to a liquid, a solid to a gas, or a liquid to a gas, at a constant temperature, the process is endothermic NOT exothermic. It requires energy to break the intermolecular forces that keep the molecules together, and that reduces the temperature - heat is taken in.
