In a flask colourless N2O4 is in equilibrium with brown coloured NO2. At equilibrium when the flask is heated at 1000, the brown colour deepens and on cooling it becomes less coloured. The change in enthalpy, △H for the formation of NO2 is:

The correct option is B positive N2O4⇌2NO2
Since, the heat is absorbed in the reaction, therefore ΔHNO2f must be greater than zero as reaction is endothermic.
