Three beakers labelled as A, B and C each containing 25 mL of water were taken. A small amount of NaOH, anhyd. 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 statements is/are correct? I. In beakers A and B, exothermic process has occurred. II. In beakers A and B, endothermic process has occurred. III. In beaker C, the exothermic process has occurred. IV. In beaker C, endothermic process has occurred. [NCERT Exemplar] (a) Only I (b) Only II (c) I and IV (d) II and III

(c)As in case of beakers A and B, heat is given out, so temperature became high, hence it is an exothermic reaction while in beaker C, heat is absorbed from water, so temperature falls, hence it is an endothermic process.
