Well when you get frostbite your fingers would be come extremely cold. Therefore the fingers want heat. Endothermic is absorbing heat. Thus cold fingers are endothermic. Now this endothermic does assume that the environment that the fingers are in are warmer than they are. Otherwise they would lose more heat to the environment. In thermodynamics heat always travels from warm source to cold source until an equilibrium is reached.

When solid lead chloride dissolves in hot water is this endothermic or exothermic?
That would be an endothermic process.
What is the name given to reactions which take in heat?
An endothermal (or endothermic) process is the name of the process in which heat is taken in. In an exothermal (or exothermic) process, heat is released.
Is distilling petroleum Exothermic and endothermic?
Its endothermic :)
Is the sand on a beach gets hot from the sun endothermic or exothermic process?
Endothermic. The sand is absorbing heat. If it was radiating heat, that would be exothermic.
What is a sentence using endothermic and exothermic?
Plants are endothermic because they use photosynthesis as their means of obtaining energy and endothermic means energy obtaining. A candle flame would be considered exothermic because it releases heat.
How should you care for someone with minor frostbit on the fingers?
Get the person to a warm environment and rewarm his or her hands using skin-to-skin contact.
Is a chemical packet in a first aid kit endothermic or exothermic?
It would be endothermic. It is endothermic because it is cold and absorbs heat.

That would be an endothermic process.
Is the Pygmy Hippo endothermic?
Yes, a Gorilla is endothermic

Would a tarantula be endothermic?
Yes they are exothermic. :)
Is barium hydroxide endothermic or exothermic?
it is exothermic since it produces energy. if endothermic it would use up energy.
Are mollusks endothermic or ectothermic?
endothermic
Is distilling petroleum Exothermic and endothermic?
Its endothermic :)
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Is a maned wolf endothermic or ectothermic?
Yes. A wolf is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
Is the sand on a beach gets hot from the sun endothermic or exothermic process?
Endothermic. The sand is absorbing heat. If it was radiating heat, that would be exothermic.
