Question

you place a pot of water on the stove to boil noodles for dinner. as the stove heats the pot, see steam rising, which shows that evaporation is happening. this process is: exothermic endothermic chemical reaction freezing

Explanation:

Evaporation is a phase - change process from liquid to gas. It requires heat input, which means it absorbs energy from the surroundings. Endothermic processes absorb heat, while exothermic processes release heat. Evaporation is not a chemical reaction as no new substances are formed, and it is not freezing (which is a liquid - to - solid phase change).

Answer:

B. Endothermic
