Which of the following is an endothermic process?
Question

Which of the following is an endothermic process?

A.

Evaporation of water

B.

Dilution of sulphuric acid

C.

Sublimation of dry ice

D.

Both sublimation of dry ice and evaporation of water

Correct option is D


Both evaporation of water and sublimation of dry ice are endothermic processes.
Evaporation of water requires the absorption of heat from the surroundings to convert liquid water into water vapor.
Sublimation of dry ice (solid CO₂ directly turning into gas) also absorbs heat from the surroundings, causing the solid to change into a gas without passing through the liquid phase.
In both processes, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, making them endothermic. On the other hand, the dilution of sulphuric acid is an exothermic process, as it releases heat
