Which phrase change is an endothermic change? (1 point)
a) condensation
b) vaporization
c) deposition
d) freezing

An Endothermic change is a process in which there is absorption of energy.
-Condensation is the transformation from a gas to a liquid. So the water molecules releases energy while condensing, so condensation is exothermic (opposite of endothermic, it's the release of energy)
-Vaporization is the transformation from a liquid to a gas. When you heat water to evaporate it, you're giving energy to the water molecules. And when they absorb this energy, they transform to a gas. Which means that Vaporization is endothermic.
-Deposition is the transformation from gas directly to solid without passing by the liquid phase. Same as the condensation, but the water molecules release even more energy to directly become Solid. So deposition is exothermic.
-Freezing is the transformation from a liquid to a solid. During this phase, water molecules releases energy to its surrounding. So freezing is exothermic.

We can conclude that Vaporization is endothermic, because it's absorbing energy to transform from liquid to gas, while condensation, deposition and freezing are exothermic because they release energy to transform.

Hope this Helps! :)

The answer is b on plato.
