The process of melting is endothermic because you are adding heat (or energy) to the object. When you add heat or energy to an object it begins to melt , Which tells you the object has reached its melting point or the temperature that the object melts at.
endothermic is adding heat or energy (ENdothermic means ENtering)
exothermic is removing heat or energy (EXothermic means EXiting).
Conversely, the process of freezing is exothermic.
And easy way to remember this is that when ice melts it makes things cold. This is because it is sucking in the heat.
Melting is endothermic. Freezing is exothermic.
False.The original answer (now deleted ) said that the melting of ice is an endothermic reaction.If you need to convince yourself of this, take half a glass of water at room temperature. Put in a thermometer, wait a while, then record the temperature.Now add a few ice cubes; wait a while, then check the temperature again. If the melting of ice were an exothermic process, the water would then be warmer. Since you will actually find the water to be cooler, it is an endothermic process.
Examples of endothermic processes include melting of ice, dissociation of ammonium nitrate, and baking soda reacting with vinegar. These processes absorb heat from the surroundings to proceed.
Heat is required to solid for melting and to liquid for evaporation so these are endothermic processes.
Chemical, since it doesn't turn back.
Melting is endothermic. Freezing is exothermic.
endothermic
It is an endothermic process.
Ice cream melting (or pretty much anything melting) is an endothermic process in that it requires the absorption of heat energy in order to occur. An example of an exothermic process is the burning of paper which gives off heat energy.
Melting ice
For example melting or boiling.
Endothermic
freezing is exothermic, melting is endothermic, evaporation is endothermic, condensation is exothermic.
Both are endothermic.
Melting is an endothermic process.
yes, your adding heat.
because it is an endothermic reaction.
