Ice cream melting is a physical and reversible change because it is a solid and the sun's heat is making it melt into a liquid. It is reversible because it is able to change back its state into a solid with the heat taken away. Reversible changes is a change in a substance that can be reversed.


Frozen yogurt dissolving is a physical and reversible change since it is a strong and the sun's warmth is making it soften into a fluid. It is reversible since it can change back its state into a strong with the warmth removed. Reversible changes is an adjustment in a substance that can be switched.

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

B) the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings.

Explanation:

The positive sign of the energy difference in a chemical reaction would indicate that the chemicals are gaining energy from the surroundings. This is what happens in an endothermic reaction.

In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings hence the surrounding becomes colder at the end of the changes.

  • Here the energy change is assigned a positive value.
  • This is because the heat energy level of the final state is higher than that of the initial state.
  • So, the difference gives a positive value.
