  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_2(g)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_2(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l)\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}(s)\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{NaCl}(I) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}(\mathrm{s})\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Evaporation of water in an open vessel is a process which takes place by itself, by absorption of heat from the surroundings, because the gaseous water molecules are more random than the liquid water molecules.…
