Explanation: An endothermic reaction is a type of of chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding. The temperature of the surrounding decreases.
An Exothermic reaction is a type of of chemical reaction in which energy is released into the surrounding. The temperature of the surrounding increases.
a.boiling of water: This involves conversion of liquid to gas and thus require energy and is endothermic.
b.melting of copper: This involves conversion of solid to liquid and thus require energy and is endothermic.
c. condensation of ethanol vapor: This involves conversion of vapor to liquid and thus release energy and is exothermic.
d.sublimation of iodine: This involves conversion of solid to gas and thus require energy and is endothermic.
The exothermic process is a process or reaction that involves a release of energy from the system to its surroundings in various forms usually through heat, light, electricity or sound. In the four given choices, when melting a copper, you try to immerse the metal in heaping coals of fire. The metal will absorb the thermal energy coming from the coal, thus, once you retrieve the metal back, light will be emitted from it as well as heat.
Avoid plastic in general (Plastic is usually not recycled, despite what people say. It ends up in landfills, the ocean, or it is burned)
Don't buy fast fashion (Clothes that are made in bulk by factories usually in Bangladesh. They are trendy but bad for the environment. Instead, shop at thrift stores.)
Don't waste food! Stop throwing out those leftovers, and make sure you eat everything on your plate.
Try to switch to renewable energy. (Use solar panels or find lights that conserve energy. Also, these options most likely cost less :)
Try to cut back on your meat intake. (I am a pescatarian who loves meat. I started this diet in 4th or 5th grade because it was a dare. I know, it was a crazy dare, but hey I don't back down! It's been about 5 years now and I'm still going strong. If me - a meat lover - can do it, you can to :)
