Is a liquid endothermic or exothemic?

A liquid on its own cannot be described as either endothermic or exothermic. The terms endothermic and exothermic are the names of two opposite process reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs heat and and exothermic reaction gives off heat. A liquid can be involved in either an endothermic reaction or in an exothermic reaction. If you are evaporating a liquid from its liquid phase to its gas phase, then the reaction is usually endothermic and vice versa, going from the gas phase to the liquid phase, the reaction is usually exothermic.


What is evaporation an exothermic or endothermic process?

Evaporation is an endothermic process because it requires energy in the form of heat to break the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together. This energy is absorbed from the surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature.


Is the making of ice cubes an exothermic reaction?

exothermic. the energy flows out. exothermic. the energy flows out.


Does endothermic have a 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.


A reaction that gives out energy?

An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy in the form of heat or light. This type of reaction usually feels warm to the touch and may involve combustion or decomposition of reactants. Examples include burning wood, rusting iron, and neutralization reactions.
