Yes, the ice cube must absorb thermal energy from its surroundings to undergo the phase change, so the process is in fact endothermic.

Are melting and freezing physical changes are endothermic?

Freezing is an endothermic change. Freezing, for example a puddle of ice turn into an ice cube, the water is still the same thing but its just in a different form. The water is going into a different form, which is called endothermic. Hope this helped :)!


What is the example of melting?

a butter bar to a popcorn butterAn example of melting is an ice cube in the sun. Another example of melting is solid cooking grease like Crisco melting in a hot fry pan.

Put an ice cube in a microwave, turn it on, and watch carefully


A substance gains energy during which two processes?

There are many ways in which a substance gains energy 1. By receiving photons eg. photosynthesis 2. By gaining heat eg. melting of an ice cube is an endothermic reaction 3. Decomposition of substance eg. ammonium chloride and many more...


What is an example of an endothermic change?

An example of an endothermic change is when an ice cube melts or when water evaporates. Endothermic is the opposite from exothermic. Exothermic means to take away energy,so endothermic means to add energy. If you take a test and this is on it remember the water cycle.Also remember that exo means to take OUT so endo means to ADD.


When ice cube melts into liquid water it goes through an?

endothermic phase change, where it absorbs heat from its surroundings to break the hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules in a solid lattice structure. As a result, the ice cube converts into liquid water at the same temperature as its melting point.


An ice cube melts after being left on the table over an extended period of time Exothermic or endothermic?

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.


Is cold pack exothermic or endothermic?

Endothermic- a change in which energy is taken in. The melting of ice is an endothermic change. Ice absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings when it melts. That's why you pack drinks and food in an ice-filled picnic cooler to keep them cold. So yes an ice cube is endothermic.


How is melting a sugar cube different from melting a ice cube?

Due to their varying melting points (ice 32 and sugar 366°)


How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?

Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.


Is an ice cube melting an example of condensation?

yes it is.. because it is.. hahahahahaha=D
