A chemical might be used to melt ice if it raises the temperature of the ice. This best type reaction to accomplish this would be a(n)
A) exothermic reaction.
B) endothermic reaction.
C) decomposition reaction.
D) neutralization reaction.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) endothermic reaction.

Explanation:

Melting of ice is endothermic because it is taking heat from the environment, feeling cold, because it requires energy to break the ice bonds. It's also why you feel cold when wet it takes energy to evaporate water. The ice absorbs the energy from the environment. Its internal potential energy increases, therefore, it's endothermic. It also increases the entropy of reaction.
