Question 6 • Chemistry

Which event is endothermic?

Answer
A
the change of water vapor to a liquid
B
the burning of a match
C
the combustion of propane gas
D
the melting of ice

Explanation

An endothermic change absorbs heat from its surroundings. Melting ice requires heat to break some of the attractions holding water molecules in the solid structure, so it is endothermic. Water vapor condensing, burning a match, and propane combustion all release heat.
