Question 8 • *25-26 KCS18 Chemistry IC

Which chemical or physical change is an endothermic process?

Answer
A
the burning of a candle
B
the condensing of gaseous water on a glass filled with cold liquid
C
the melting of an ice cube
D
the rusting of an old car

Explanation

Melting requires a substance to absorb heat from its surroundings, so melting an ice cube is endothermic. Burning and rusting release energy, while condensation releases heat as water vapor changes to liquid. Therefore, the endothermic process is the melting of an ice cube.
