Yes, the ice cube must absorb thermal energy from its surroundings to undergo the phase change, so the process is in fact endothermic.

An ice cube melts after being left on the table over an extended period of time Exothermic or endothermic?

The process of melting is endothermic because you are adding heat (or energy) to the object. When you add heat or energy to an object it begins to melt , Which tells you the object has reached its melting point or the temperature that the object melts at.


Are melting and freezing physical changes are endothermic?

Freezing is an endothermic change. Freezing, for example a puddle of ice turn into an ice cube, the water is still the same thing but its just in a different form. The water is going into a different form, which is called endothermic. Hope this helped :)!


Can sawdust keep a ice cube from melting?

Sawdust can help insulate the ice cube and slow down the melting process, but it won't completely prevent the ice cube from melting. The insulating properties of the sawdust reduce the transfer of heat to the ice cube, which can help keep it colder for longer.


Do different containers have an effect on the speed of melting an ice cube?

Yes, different containers can affect the speed at which an ice cube melts. For example, a metal container will conduct heat more quickly than a plastic container, resulting in faster melting. Additionally, a container with a larger surface area exposed to the surrounding temperature will also lead to faster melting.


What are some examples of endothermic equations and exothermic equations?

Exothermic reactions give out heat. some examples of exothermic reactions are : 1)burning fuel in a fire 2)the addition of acid to water 3)the thermite reaction(this one is quite a sight) 4)the haber process of producing ammonia Endothermic reactions take in heat from their environment. some examples of endothermic reactions are: 1)an ice cube melting 2)depressurising a can(responsible in part why deodorant feels cold) 3)dissolving ammonium nitrate in water 4)decomposition of mercury (II) oxide(this requires a lot of heat)

What is the example of melting?

a butter bar to a popcorn butterAn example of melting is an ice cube in the sun. Another example of melting is solid cooking grease like Crisco melting in a hot fry pan.


Melting an ice cube is an example of causing a change in?

It is an example of change in the state of matter.


What is am example of melting?

Put an ice cube in a microwave, turn it on, and watch carefully


Is an ice cube melting the best example of evaporation?

No, boiling water is the best example of evaporation along with any form of steam production. Answer In relation to the ice cube which will first produce water. It will be the water that evaporates. When an ice cube is placed in a warm room it becomes coated with a layer of water, it is no longer a true ice cube.


What is an example of an endothermic change?

An example of an endothermic change is when an ice cube melts or when water evaporates. Endothermic is the opposite from exothermic. Exothermic means to take away energy,so endothermic means to add energy. If you take a test and this is on it remember the water cycle.Also remember that exo means to take OUT so endo means to ADD.


When ice cube melts into liquid water it goes through an?

endothermic phase change, where it absorbs heat from its surroundings to break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules in a solid lattice structure. As a result, the ice cube converts into liquid water at the same temperature as its melting point.


Is cold pack exothermic or endothermic?

Endothermic- a change in which energy is taken in. The melting of ice is an endothermic change. Ice absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings when it melts. That's why you pack drinks and food in an ice-filled picnic cooler to keep them cold. So yes an ice cube is endothermic.


How is melting a sugar cube different from melting a ice cube?

Due to their varying melting points (ice 32 and sugar 366°)


How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?

Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.


Is an ice cube melting an example of condensation?

yes it is.. because it is.. hahahahahaha=D
