Question

is the following process endothermic or exothermic? h₂o(l) → h₂o(s) select the correct answer below: endothermic exothermic neither endothermic nor exothermic both endothermic and exothermic

Explanation:

Step1: Understand phase - change concepts

Endothermic processes absorb heat, exothermic release heat.

Step2: Analyze the given process

The process is water (liquid) turning to ice (solid), a freezing process.

Step3: Determine heat flow

Freezing releases heat to the surroundings, so it's exothermic.

Answer:

exothermic
