Question

6 multiple choice 1 point which of the following describes an exothermic process? c) the system remains at a constant temperature. b) energy is released into the surroundings, causing the surroundings to feel warmer. a) energy is absorbed from the surroundings, causing the surroundings to feel colder. d) kinetic energy increases while potential energy remains constant. 7 multiple choice 1 point 3. when ice melts, which of the following is true? c) energy is released, and the process is endothermic. b) energy is absorbed, and the process is exothermic. d) energy is absorbed, and the process is endothermic. a) energy is released, and the process is exothermic.

Explanation:

Exothermic processes release energy to the surroundings, warming them. Endothermic processes absorb energy from the surroundings, cooling them. Melting ice requires energy input, making it endothermic.

Answer:

1. B. Energy is released into the surroundings, causing the surroundings to feel warmer.
2. D. Energy is absorbed, and the process is endothermic.
