Dissolving a solid in water is typically an exothermic process because energy is released when the solute particles mix with the solvent particles. The energy released usually comes from the formation of new intermolecular bonds between the solute and solvent molecules.

Is solid exothermic or endothermic?

A solid is itself neither endothermic or exothermic. However the phase change from liquid to solid will likely be exothermic.


How does a solid turn into a liquid in terms of energy?

The change is endothermic.


When solid kbr is dissolved in water the solution gets colder is this endothermic or exothermic?

The process of dissolving solid KBr in water and the resulting decrease in temperature is an exothermic reaction. This means that heat is being released to the surroundings during the dissolution process.


Is dissolving Physical change or Chemical change''?

is dissolving a chemical or physical changeWell, it is not. Because you are not changing the chemical identity of the solid. It's still solid chemically and water chemically.


The change in which ice absorbs energy and melts is?

An endothermic change; or a change of state. Endothermic because it absorbs energy. Change of state because ti changes from a solid to a liquid.


Solid forms into dissolved water is a chemical or physical change?

Dissolving in water is a physical change.


Which change of phase is endothermic?

is Absorbs If you are asking if a change of state is why a reaction may be endothermic, is not always true. It simply depends on what the change of state is to and what it is from, ex: a change from liquid to solid is usually exothermic because it losses energy as the particles slow down and draw near to eachother... and the opposite occurs from solid to liquid (or liquid to gas).


Is sublimation exothermic or endothermic?

Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition from solid to gaseous state.


Is dissolving is an example of a change in the state?

Yes. It would go from solid to aqueous.


Is butter melted in a pan a endothermic or exothermic change?

Melting butter in a pan is an endothermic process. It requires energy input to break the bonds of the solid butter and convert it into a liquid state.


Why is it thermodynamically possible for some ionic solids to dissolve even though the solution process is endothermic?

Even though dissolving some ionic solids is an endothermic process (requires energy input), it is still thermodynamically possible due to the increase in entropy that occurs when the solid breaks apart into individual ions in solution. The increase in entropy favors the dissolution process, even if it requires energy input to overcome the lattice energy holding the solid together.


Does a solid melt when put in liquid in dissolving?

No, a solid does not melt when it dissolves in a liquid. Melting involves a solid turning into a liquid due to heat, while dissolving involves a solid breaking down into smaller particles and dispersing in a liquid solvent without a change in state.
