It is exothermic because the gas is expanding. Most processes that have to do with expansion are exothermic/

Is liquid to a gas endothermic or exothermic?

It is exothermic. The gas must release energy to its surrounding to become a liquid.


Is diffusion better in a solid or a gas?

What kind of diffusion? If it is diffusion of molecules then gas would be the right platform


How does a diffusion pump work to create a high vacuum environment?

A diffusion pump works by using a high-speed jet of vapor to push gas molecules out of a chamber, creating a low-pressure environment. The vapor jet collides with gas molecules, transferring momentum and pushing them towards the pump's outlet. This process continues until a high vacuum is achieved in the chamber.


What is diffusion and effusion of gases?

Diffusion is the movement of gas particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Effusion, on the other hand, refers to the escape of gas particles through a tiny opening into a vacuum. Both processes are driven by the random motion of gas particles.


Is burning gasoline an exothermic process or an endothermic process?

Solid to gas (sublimation) is endothermic (takes in heat).In other words:A phase change from the solid state to the gas state is endothermic.Sublimation is endothermic (takes in energy).Heat energy must be provided to make it work.When there is a change of state from a solid to a liquid, a solid to a gas, or a liquid to a gas, at a constant temperature, the process is endothermic NOT exothermic. It requires energy to break the intermolecular forces that keep the molecules together, and that reduces the temperature - heat is taken in.


Is burning natural gas in a clothes dryer exothermic?

Yes, exothermic means that there is heat in the "project."


When Natural gas is burned in a furnace is it endothermic or exothermic?

When natural gas is burned in a furnace, it undergoes an exothermic reaction, which means it releases heat. The combustion of natural gas produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat energy as byproducts.


Is going from a gas to a liquid exothermic?

yes


Does hydrogen gas have a low rate of diffusion?

No, it is the lightest gas of the universe so has the highest rate of diffusion.


Is the process of condensing exothermic or endothermic?

Condensation is considered a type of exothermic reaction. Condensation is something that is released, which means that is exothermic instead of endothermic.


Is ammonia solution and water an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Gas devolve reactions are exothermic. So it is a exothermic too.


Is drain cleaner endothermic or exothermic?

Drain cleaner is typically exothermic. When it is mixed with water, it produces heat as a result of an exothermic chemical reaction. This heat helps to dissolve and remove the clogs in the drain.
