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 evaporating always an exothermic reaction?

No, evaporating is not always an exothermic reaction. Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, and whether it is exothermic or endothermic depends on the specific conditions such as temperature and pressure.


Is evaporating rubbing alcohol on skin endothermic?

Water evaporation is an endothermic process.


Is a puddle of water evaporating endothermic or exothermic?

The evaporation of a puddle of water is an endothermic process because it requires energy input to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Energy is absorbed from the surroundings, causing the temperature of the puddle to decrease as the water evaporates.


Is sweat endothermic or exothermic?

What is the property of evaporating water?

Evaporation is a physical process.


When sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water the temperature of the water increases. Is this endothermic or exothermic?

This process is exothermic because it releases heat energy into the surroundings.


Is an example of an endothermic process Condensation Evaporating Burning or Freezing?

An example of an endothermic process is evaporating. Evaporation requires an input of energy to convert liquid water into water vapor, so it is an endothermic process.


Is the formation of water endothermic or exothermic?

The process is endothermic because the water is absorbing heat from the kettle. When energy (heat) is released as steam this is exothermic.

When wax is evaporating is it in the same process as water?

Wax is not evaporated.


What is Freezing water exothermic or endothermic?

Freezing water is an exothermic process because it releases heat energy as water changes from a liquid to a solid state. Heat is given off during the process of water molecules forming an orderly arrangement in ice.
