Question

In a flask, colourless $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4$ is in equilibrium with brown coloured $\text{NO}_2$. At equilibrium, when the flask is heated at 373 K, the brown colour deepens and on cooling it becomes less coloured. The change in enthalpy for this reaction is

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Heating favors the formation of $\text{NO}_2$ (the brown colour deepens), indicating that the forward reaction absorbs heat. Therefore, the reaction is endothermic and its change in enthalpy is positive.
