What does one mean by endothermic reaction? Give example.

उत्तर १
Reactions in which energy is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions.
Example: \[\ce{N2(g) + O2(g) + Heat -> 2NO(g)}\]
\[\ce{2NH3(g) + Heat -> N2(g) + 3H2(g)}\]
उत्तर २
A reaction in which heat is absorbed is called an endothermic reaction.
Example: When silver chloride is left in the sunlight, it absorbs heat and turns grey because of the formation of silver metal.
\[\ce{2AgCl(s)->[Sunlight] 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g)}\]

Why is the amount of gas collected in one of the test tubes in the following Activity double of the amount collected in the other? Name this gas.
- Take a plastic mug. Drill two holes at its base and fit rubber stoppers in these holes. Insert carbon electrodes in these rubber stoppers as shown in the following Fig.
- Connect these electrodes to a 6 volt battery.
- Fill the mug with water such that the electrodes are immersed. Add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid to the water.
- Take two test tubes filled with water and invert them over the two carbon electrodes.
- Switch on the current and leave the apparatus undisturbed for some time.
- You will observe the formation of bubbles at both the electrodes. These bubbles displace water in the test tubes.
- Is the volume of the gas collected the same in both the test tubes?
• Once the test tubes are filled with the respective gases, remove them carefully. - Test these gases one by one by bringing a burning candle close to the mouth of the test tubes.
Caution: This step must be performed carefully by the teacher.
- What happens in each case?
- Which gas is present in each test tube?
