Q:

Which phase change is an example of an exothermic process?

A) Liquid to Solid B) Gas to Solid
C) Gas to Liquid D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Processes that require or give off heat will be limited to changes of state, known as phase changes, and changes in chemical constitution, or chemical reactions. Changes of state involve a solid melting, a liquid freezing, a liquid boiling or a gas condensing.

 

An exothermic process is one that gives off heat, which is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is a reaction which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.

 

Here in all the given options, heat is taken away from them to change there phase. 

Liquid to Solid --- Freezing

Gas to Liquid --- Condensation

Gas to Solid --- Deposition 

are all examples of exothermic processes.

Q:

Is deposition endothermic or exothermic?

A) Endothermic B) Exothermic
C) Both A & B D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Exothermic

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, deposition is a phase transition in which gases are directly transformed to solids without converting to liquids first.

 

For example, watervapour is directly changed to ice without first becoming to liquid water. In this process, heat is released making the process exothermic process.
