Solution
The correct option is A irreversible reaction Reaction at room tenperature is: NaCl(s)+H2SO4(s)→NaHSO4(s)+HCl(g)↑ The reaction is irreversible as HCl escapes out. Upon heating it above 200∘C reaction proceeds even further as: NaCl(s)+NaHSO4(s)→HCl(g)↑+Na2SO4(s) Therefore its an endothermic reaction thus only option A is correct.
