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.
What else can I help you with?
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 vaporization exothermic or endothermic?
It is endothermic. Endothermic is to gain heat and Exothermic is to lose heat.
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 would you know if a reaction was endothermic or exothermic?
An endothermic reaction is one in which thermal energy, or heat, is absorbed. If heat is absorbed in the reaction process, it is endothermic. By monitoring the temperature of the reactants in a reaction, an observer could identify an endothermic reaction through observation of a decrease in the temperature.
Is dissociation an endothermic or exothermic process?
Dissociation is an endothermic process.
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.
Would a tarantula be endothermic?
Yes they are exothermic. :)
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.
Are mollusks endothermic or ectothermic?
endothermic
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Are iguanas ectothermic or endothermic?
My best guess would be Ectothermic
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.
Does endothermic have high or low activation energy?
An endothermic reaction would not necessarily have either a high or low activation energy; it could be either and would depend on the reactants. Also, the activation energy alone does not determine if a reaction is endothermic or exothermic; a low or high activation energy could be part of an endothermic or exothermic reaction, again depending on the reactants.
Is the Pygmy Hippo endothermic?
Yes, a Gorilla is endothermic
What are some examples of endothermic reactions that are endothermic as well?
All ENDOthermic reactions are of course ENDOthermic by themselves, aren't they?
Are porcupines ectothermic or endothermic?
A porcupine 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.
