Which of the following reaction(s) is/are endothermic? (one or more than one correct)

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B
Solution:

(a) For NO, the standard enthalpy of formation is Δ Hf = +90 kJ/mol. Thus, for 2 moles, Δ H = +180 kJ, indicating an endothermic reaction.

(b) The thermal decomposition of limestone (CaCO₃) requires heat, with Δ H ≈ +178 kJ. This is an endothermic process.

(c) The burning of carbon monoxide (CO) is a combustion reaction, which is exothermic.

(d) The hydrogenation of a C=C bond is an exothermic process, with Δ H ≈ -137 kJ.

Therefore, the endothermic reactions are (a) and (b).
