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.

Is the boiling of liquid nitrogen endothermic?

Yes, the boiling of liquid nitrogen is an endothermic process because it requires energy to break the intermolecular forces holding the nitrogen molecules together in the liquid state. This energy is absorbed from the surroundings, making the process endothermic.


Is vaporization exothermic or endothermic?

It is endothermic. Endothermic is to gain heat and Exothermic is to lose heat.


Is boiling an egg endothermic or exothermic?

It is endothermic as the water mus gain energy to go from a liquid to a gas.


What are 2 phase changes that are endothermic or absorbing energy?

Two phase changes that are endothermic or absorbing energy are melting (solid to liquid) and vaporization (liquid to gas). During these phase changes, energy is absorbed to break the intermolecular forces holding the particles together, allowing them to move more freely in their new state.


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

The change is endothermic.


Is liquid exothermic or endothermic?

Depends, Liquid can be both endothermic and exothermic, for example water, if you freeze water and put it in room temperature it will be endothermic, meaning it will absorb the heat form the room. And if you Boil water and put it in a cold place it will become exothermic because its releasing the heat.


What are the three phase changes?

The 3 types of endothermic phase changes are the movement from solid to liquid, the movement from liquid to gas, and the movement form gas to plasma. Endothermic is the absorbing of heat.

Water evaporation is an endothermic process.


What is the difference between endothemic and exothemic?

The terms "endothermic" and "exothermic" refer to whether a chemical reaction absorbs or releases heat, respectively. In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, while in an exothermic reaction, heat is released into the surroundings.


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.


Is liquid to a gas endothermic or exothermic?

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