Question diagram
A

Endothermic reaction with a positive enthalpy change.

B

Exothermic reaction with a negative enthalpy change.

C

Endothermic reaction with a negative enthalpy change.

D

Exothermic reaction with a positive enthalpy change.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The reaction 1/2 N2(g) + O2(g) → NO2(g) has an enthalpy change (∆rH ) of +33.2 kJ mol–1, indicating it is endothermic with a positive enthalpy change.
