Question
What does one mean by endothermic reaction? Give example.
Advertisements
Solution 1
Reactions in which energy is absorbed are known as endothermic reactions.
Example: \[\ce{N2(g) + O2(g) + Heat -> 2NO(g)}\]
\[\ce{2NH3(g) + Heat -> N2(g) + 3H2(g)}\]
Solution 2
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.
\[\ce{2AgCl(s)->[Sunlight] 2Ag(s) + Cl2(g)}\]

A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
