Phase Changes: Exothermic or Endothermic?
Summary
TLDRThis educational video script delves into the concept of heat transfer during phase changes, distinguishing between endothermic and exothermic processes. It uses the example of ice melting and water boiling to illustrate endothermic processes, where heat is absorbed from the environment. Conversely, it explains exothermic processes through the condensation of steam and freezing of water, where heat is released to the surroundings. The script emphasizes the importance of considering the direction of heat flow rather than temperature changes to determine if a process is endothermic or exothermic. It concludes with a brief mention of how these processes are quantified using enthalpy changes, with positive values for endothermic and negative for exothermic processes.
Takeaways

Q & A
What is the key concept discussed in the video?
-The video discusses how heat moves during phase changes and distinguishes between exothermic and endothermic processes.
What are examples of endothermic phase changes mentioned in the video?
-Melting (solid ice to liquid water) and boiling (liquid water to steam) are examples of endothermic phase changes.
How can we identify whether a phase change is endothermic or exothermic?
-By observing the direction of heat flow. If heat moves into the system from the surroundings, it's an endothermic process; if heat moves out of the system into the surroundings, it's exothermic.
Why is it not always useful to think of endothermic processes as ones that feel cold?
-Endothermic processes don’t always feel cold. It’s more reliable to think in terms of heat flow direction—whether heat is moving into or out of the system—rather than how it feels.
What is the phase change from gas to liquid called, and is it exothermic or endothermic?
-The phase change from gas to liquid is called condensation, and it is an exothermic process because heat is released from the system.
Why is freezing considered an exothermic process?
-Freezing is exothermic because heat is released from the liquid water into the surroundings to form solid ice.
What does a positive ΔH value indicate about a process?
-A positive ΔH value indicates that the process is endothermic, meaning heat is absorbed by the system.
What is the ΔH value for exothermic processes?
-Exothermic processes have a negative ΔH value, meaning heat is released from the system.
Are the concepts of endothermic and exothermic processes limited to water?
-No, these concepts apply to any substance, not just water. Any substance undergoing melting, boiling, condensing, or freezing follows the same principles.
How does the movement of heat relate to phase changes like melting and boiling?
-During melting and boiling, heat moves into the system, making these phase changes endothermic as they require heat to change state.

🔥 Understanding Endothermic and Exothermic Processes
This paragraph explains the concepts of endothermic and exothermic processes in the context of phase changes. The instructor uses the example of ice melting into water and water boiling into steam to illustrate how heat moves during these changes. It's clarified that endothermic processes require heat to be absorbed by the system (like melting ice or boiling water), while exothermic processes release heat into the surroundings (such as steam condensing into water or water freezing into ice). The key takeaway is that the direction of heat flow, rather than the temperature change, determines whether a process is endothermic or exothermic.
🌡️ Phase Changes and Enthalpy Changes
In this paragraph, the discussion expands on phase changes and their relation to enthalpy changes. It emphasizes that for substances like water, ethanol, or methane, the principles of endothermic and exothermic processes during phase changes are consistent. The instructor explains that endothermic processes, such as melting and boiling, are associated with a positive change in enthalpy (ΔH), indicating heat is absorbed. Conversely, exothermic processes like condensation and freezing have a negative ΔH, meaning heat is released. The paragraph reinforces the idea that understanding the numerical representation of these processes helps in identifying whether a phase change is endothermic or exothermic.

I'm wearing a hot pink shirt because
we're going to talk about heat in this
lesson specifically we're going to talk
about how heat moves during phase
changes and we're going to learn which
phase changes are exothermic and which
phase changes are endothermic so in this
diagram here I have some phase changes
that are very familiar to you from daily
life I have some solid ice a big hunk of
solid ice melting to become liquid water
and then I have this liquid water
boiling to become steam which is a
gas so are these fish changes
endothermic or exothermic let's think
about what we have to do with heat to
make them happen so I have my uh chunk
of solid I I've got to make it hotter in
order to get liquid water and then when
I get liquid water I got to make that
hotter and hotter and hotter in order to
uh end up with steam now when we want to
figure out whether something is
exothermic or endothermic sometimes it's
not as useful to think about whether we
need to make it hotter or whether we
need to make something colder in instead
it's best to think about the direction
that heat is moving let me show you what
I mean let's use uh this red arrow here
to show um the direction that heat moves
okay so here I have this solid ice and
when I want to turn it into water I've
got to put heat into it okay so here
these Arrow show Heat going in maybe
this heat is from a stove maybe the heat
is from the Sun maybe the Heat's from a
fire or something like that but whatever
the source the heat is moving into into
the solid ice and melting it and then
once I have liquid water I have to put
heat into that in order to get steam
again maybe the Heat's coming from the
Sun or the stove or something like that
but it's moving in so we can say that
heat is moving from the environment into
the ice heat is moving from the
environment into the water so heat moves
from environment into water here or if
we wanted to sound more scientific about
it we'd say that heat in this case moves
from the surroundings a fancy word for
the environment into the system the
system is just whatever we want to focus
on here the system is the ice here the
system is a liquid water but in all of
these cases when heat is moving from the
surroundings into a system we are
talking about an
endothermic
process you can remember this because n
sounds kind of like n and that's just
what H what's happening heat is moving
into the system it's moving into the
water it's moving into the ice
endothermic now sometimes people get
confused and they think wait wait wait I
thought an endothermic process was one
that like felt cold and here we're
talking about having to make stuff
hotter and somehow that's an endothermic
process well sometimes things that are
endothermic feel cold but sometimes they
don't and instead of thinking about
whether something feels cold or whether
it feels hot it's best
to always think about the direction that
heat moves and you'll never get this
wrong and if heat is moving from the
outside into something it is an example
of an endothermic process let's look at
some exothermic processes okay so what I
have here is some steam condensing to
form liquid water you may not be
familiar with that word but it's just a
what we call it when steam becomes water
condensing and now liquid water is
freezing to make solid ice to do each
one of these phase changes we have to
make it colder but instead of thinking
about having to make something hotter or
something colder let's think about the
direction here's my paper let's think
about the direction that heat moves okay
if we want to go from this really hot
gas to this cooler liquid water we're
going to want to move heat out of the
steam okay and here are the Red Arrows
showing the movement of that heat maybe
the heat is leaving the Steam and going
into a freezer or refrigerator or
something and similarly to go from
liquid water and freeze it to make solid
ice we have to get heat out of it to
cool it down so the heat is moving away
from the liquid water in this case we're
talking about an example where heat
moves out of a system into the
surroundings and when heat moves out of
the steam or of the liquid water we call
this an exothermic process X meaning out
of and that's the direction of heat
movement in these
processes okay so just to review in
melting and boiling we have to put heat
into the system and that means that it's
an endothermic process on the other hand
for condensing which is gas to liquid or
freezing liquid to solid the heat has to
come out of the system into the
surroundings to to cool it down we have
to pull that heat out and that is an
example of an exothermic process now in
the examples that I did previously I was
talking about water okay but this is no
different with any other substance
whether it's ethanol or methane or any
anything you can think of melting and
boiling we have to put heat in they're
endothermic condensing and freezing we
have to take heat out it's exothermic
water anything else it doesn't matter so
don't think that it's just water now
finally we can describe these
endothermic and exothermic phase changes
using some
numbers as we've said previously an
endothermic process is one where the
change in enthalpy the Delta H is a
positive number and the exothermic
processes are ones where the Delta H is
a negative number okay so check this out
here is the chemical equation for
melting I'm going from solid H2O to
liquid H2O and the Delta H for the
reaction a positive number check check
that out so it has to be endothermic and
the same thing for boiling which is
liquid H2O to gas H2O liquid to steam
the Delta H is a positive number again
so it's an endothermic
process condensing going from gas to
liquid is a negative Delta H so it's
exothermic and similarly freezing going
from liquid to solid is a negative Delta
H as well so uh that is how you can tell
whether a phase change is an endothermic
or an exothermic process if you're
putting heat in from surrounding the
system it's endothermic if heat is going
from system out into the surroundings to
cool something down it is an exothermic
process
