    Which of the following reactions are exothermic in nature?
    (i) Evaporation of water               
    (ii) Dissolution of sodium hydroxide in water
    (iii) Dilution of sulphuric acid            
    (iv) Dissolution of ammonium chloride in water
    (v) Combustion of methane gas       
     

    A) (i), (iv) and (v) only                  

    B) (ii), (iii) and (v) only                  

    C) (i), (ii) and (iv) only                  

    D) (i), (iii) and (iv) only                  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Dissolution of sodium hydroxide in water, dilution of sulphuric acid and combustion of methane gas are exothermic reactions in which a large amount of heat is released. Evaporation of water and dissolution of ammonium chloride in water are endothermic reactions in which heat is absorbed.
