Is a liquid endothermic or exothemic?
A liquid on its own cannot be described as either endothermic or exothermic. The terms endothermic and exothermic are the names of two opposite process reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs heat and and exothermic reaction gives off heat. A liquid can be involved in either an endothermic reaction or in an exothermic reaction. If you are evaporating a liquid from its liquid phase to its gas phase, then the reaction is usually endothermic and vice versa, going from the gas phase to the liquid phase, the reaction is usually exothermic.
A reaction that gives out energy?
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
Why is it thermodynamically possible for some ionic solids to dissolve even though the solution process is endothermic?
Even though the process is endothermic, the dissolving of the solid increases the entropy enough to more than compensate for the drop in temperature.
Is a lit light bulb exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic, as the reaction is releasing heat into the surroundings.
A change in matter in which energy is taken in is an endothermic change?
Its where heat is taken in in a reaction eg making a cake is an endothermic reaction as heat is taken in to start it ;)
Is a puddle of water evaporating endothermic or exothermic?
Evaporation is an endothermic process.
Evaporation of perspiration is an endothermic or exothermic change Why?
Evaporation is an endothermic process because absorb energy.
A puddle of water evaporates is an example of exothermic or endothermic?
Evaporation is an endothermic process.
Which state changes are exothermic and endothermic?
freezing is exothermic, melting is endothermic, evaporation is endothermic, condensation is exothermic.
Is evaporation an exothermic or endothermic process explain?
It will be an endothermic process because the beaker becomes cool after evaporation.
What are everyday uses of exothermic and endothermic?
EXOTHERMIC: any combustion ENDOTHERMIC: evaporation of liquids
Is water evaporating an exothermic process?
The evaporation of water is endothermic. In order for the hydrogen bonds to be broken in water (which is required for water to evaporate), an input of energy is needed. Conversely, the condensation of water vapor is exothermic.
Is it true that evaporation and condensation take place when water gains heat energy?
Evaporation is an endothermic process.Condensation is an exothermic process.
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Is the process feeling cold exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic/endothermic is a process not a feeling.
Is alcohol evaporation endothermic or exothermic?
Always endothermic. Liquids absorb heat from the surroundings through evaporation, and keeps continuing this to regain lost energy. This produces a cooling effect in the surroundings.
Is melting an exothermic or an endothermic process?
It is an endothermic process.
