Question

Is the ice melting endothermic or exothermic?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Heat is generated by exothermic processes, which raise the temperature of the surrounding environment, endothermic processes absorb heat from the environment and cool it.

1. Heat is removed from the surrounding atmosphere to melt the ice.
2. Melting ice requires the use of energy to break the hydrogen bonds in the ice.
3. Consequently, ice melting is an endothermic process.

Hence, ice melting is endothermic.
