When glasses fog up, it is an exothermic process. This is because the warm air near your face comes into contact with the cooler surface of the glasses, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into tiny droplets on the glasses. This release of heat during the condensation process is what makes it exothermic.

Is barium hydroxide endothermic or exothermic?

it is exothermic since it produces energy. if endothermic it would use up energy.


Is frezzing endothermic or exothermic?

In Chemistry, if a reaction produces heat it is an "exothermic" reaction. "Endothermic" reactions are the opposite, in that they suck up or absorb all heat, creating cold.


Is evaporation os exothermic or endothermic process.explain?

Physical endothermic change because it uses energy (taking up heat)


Contrast endothermic and exothermic reactions?

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions that use heat as part of the reactant. Heat is absorbed into the reaction in order for it to continue. Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that release heat as a product of the reaction.


How exothermic and endothermic relate to responding to external changes?

Exothermic and endothermic both have to adapt to the climate changes. For example exothermic need to move in the sun or light source when they are cold and move to a cool place when they are hot. Endothermic have to let their body temperature warm up by being in the warmest place possible, when they are cold they instantly start trying to warm up automatically.


What is the type of heat reaction which occurs when heat is given off by the reaction?

Heat is released during an exothermic reaction.


What is the difference between endothermic and exothermic?

An endothermic reaction absorbs heat. It cannot proceed without the addition of heat. An exothermic reaction releases heat. Since heat causes chemical reactions to go faster, an exothermic reaction can "feed on itself" and get out of control, releasing damaging amounts of heat and, if proceeding in a closed container, causing an explosion.


Is evaporation an exothermic or endothermic process explain?

It will be an endothermic process because the beaker becomes cool after evaporation.


Will the temperature in a reaction always go up?

Exo- means out Endo- means in. In an Exothermic reaction thermal energy is released (goes out) and in an Endothermic reaction Thermal energy is taken up, transferring into chemical energy (goes in). So, to answer your question, no, the temperature does not go up in both an exothermic and an endothermic reaction.


Is grinding up sea salt a exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Grinding up sea salt is a process that requires breaking the bonds between the salt particles, which would require energy input. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction as it absorbs heat from the surrounding environment.


Can your eyes fog up like glasses?

Yes, your eyes can fog up like glasses when there is a sudden change in temperature or humidity, causing condensation to form on the surface of the eye.


Is combustion of magnesium reaction with exothermic or endothermic?

The combustion of magnesium is an exothermic reaction because it releases heat energy. The bright white light and high temperatures produced in the reaction are characteristics of exothermic reactions.
