Question

Which of the following specific chemical formation reactions is characteristically endothermic ($\Delta H > 0$) at standard thermodynamic conditions?

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

While most formation reactions of stable compounds are exothermic, the direct synthesis of nitric oxide ($NO$) from elemental nitrogen and oxygen is a notable exception and is highly endothermic, creating a product thermodynamically less stable than its elements.
