Three beakers labelled as A, B and C each containing 25 mL of water were taken. A small amount of
NaOH, anhydrous
CuSO4 and
NaCl were added to the beakers A, B and C respectively. It was observed that there was an increase in the temperature of the solutions contained in beakers A and B, whereas, in case of beaker C, the temperature of the solution falls. Which one of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
(i) In beakers A and B, an exothermic process has occurred.
(ii) In beakers A and B, an endothermic process has occurred.
(iii) In beaker C exothermic process has occurred.
(iv) In beaker C endothermic process has occurred.
(a) (i) only
(b) (ii) only
(c) (i) and (iv)
(d) (ii) and (iii)
