"Ice" is not a reaction, please try to re-state your question so that we can help.

Sorry
Formation of Ice isn't it an endothermic reaction

Though by the endothermic reaction the process absorbs heat how can the formation of ice be called an endothermic reaction

Thanks

Your right, the formation of ice is not endothermic, it is also not a reaction.
