Solution

The correct option is A 1
The heat content of the products is more than that of the reactants in an endothermic reaction.
Endothermic reactions are the chemical reactions which proceed with the absorption of heat energy.
Consider the reaction $A + B + q \to C + D$ .
Here, q is the heat energy absorbed during this exothermic reaction.
The enthalpy change for this reaction is $Δ H_{r x n} = H_{p r o d u c t s} - H_{r e a c t a n t s} = + q$
Positive sign indicates that heat is absorbed in the reaction.
Hence, $H_{r e a c t a n t s} + q = H_{p r o d u c t s}$
Thus, in an endothermic reaction, the total enthalpy of reactant is smaller than that of products.
