PLEASE HELP ME 1) What is the difference between an exothermic and an endothermic process?

2) Which changes of state are exothermic and which are endothermic

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

How much would the freezing point of water decrease if 4 mol of sugar were added to 1 kg of water(k=1.86 c/mol/kg for water and i=1 for sugar

Solutions of sodium carbonate and silver nitrate react to form solid silver carbonate and a solution of sodium nitrate. a solution containing 3.50 g of sodium carbonate is mixed with one containing 5.00 g of silver nitrate. how many grams of sodium carbonate, silver nitrate, silver carbonate, and sodium nitrate are present after the reaction is complete?
