Which of the following is an endothermic reaction ?

Correct answer: D. Both B. and C.

  • A. Absorption of SO3 in 98% H2SO4
  • B. C + H2O = CO + H2
  • C. Thermal dissociation of iron pyrites
  • D. Both B. and C.

Explanation

The water-gas reaction, C + H2O → CO + H2, requires heat, and thermal dissociation of iron pyrites is also endothermic. Absorption of SO3 in concentrated sulfuric acid is exothermic, so both B and C are correct.
