Question

Ammonium chloride when dissolved in water leads to cooling sensation. The dissolution of $\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}$ at constant temperature is accompanied by

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

The cooling sensation indicates an endothermic process ($\Delta H > 0$). For this spontaneous dissolution to occur ($\Delta G < 0$), the entropy must necessarily increase ($\Delta S > 0$) to drive the process.
