(c) Give one example of a combination reaction which is also endothermic.

(a) Combination reactions occur when two or more substances combine to producece a single substance or product, or when two reactants combine to form a single product.

(b) Burning of carbon in presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide is an example of a combination reaction which is also an exothermic reaction.

C (s) + O2 (g) →CO2 + Heat

(c) Reaction of Nitrogen with oxygen to give nitrous oxide is an example of a combination reaction which is also an endothermic reaction.

N2 (g) + O(g) + Heat → 2NO (g)
