Question

emma is making ice cubes in her freezer. she notices that the process of water turning into ice requires the freezer to remove heat from the water. this process is an example of which type of reaction? release energy take in energy have higher energy in their reactants than the products explode

Explanation:

When water turns into ice, heat is removed from the water. In exothermic reactions, energy (in the form of heat) is released. Here, the process of water freezing (turning into ice) releases heat (as the freezer removes heat from the water), which is characteristic of an exothermic reaction. Endothermic reactions involve taking in energy. The description of reactants having higher energy than products is more relevant to exothermic reactions (as energy is released, products have lower energy than reactants). The term "explode" is not relevant to this phase - change (freezing) process.

Answer:

release energy
