When water freezes, it will go through an exothermic reaction, which is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. It is expressed in a chemical equation as:

reactants --> products + energy

When water is freezing is thermal energy released or absorbed?

When water freezes, thermal energy is released from the water as it changes from a liquid to a solid. This released energy is responsible for lowering the temperature of the water to its freezing point and then further to form ice.


How does the volume of a kilogram of water when change when it freezes?

it changes because when it freezes, the molecules within the water slows down thus changing the placement of it, which also changes the over size or volume of water.

Is ice wedging chemical weathering?

No, it is physical weathering. Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks and freezes. Water expands when it freezes, and when that happens it can crack the rock, causing the rock to break down over time. No chemical changes occur during this process. The water stays water, it just changes state, and the rock stays rock, it just breaks down into smaller pieces.


When liquid water freezes is it releasing or absorbing heat from the surroundings?

When liquid water freezes, it releases heat to the surroundings. This is because as water cools and freezes, it is converting its energy to a lower state, thereby releasing energy in the form of heat to the surrounding environment.
