Question

3. Infer A forgotten ice pop lies melting on a deck on a hot summer day. What is the direction of heat flow as the ice pop melts?

Is the process endothermic or exothermic? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes, an autumn day isn’t cold enough to keep an ice pop at freezing temperatures.

Answer 2

Endothermic. The energy is flowing into the molecules causing them to break apart and the ice pop change state.
