Answer:

For (1): The correct option is (a)

For (2): The correct option is (a) and 333.6 kJ of heat will be absorbed when 70.9 g of ammonia reacts.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of reactions that are classified based on enthalpy change:

Endothermic reactions: These are the reactions where heat is absorbed by the reaction. The change in enthalpy of the reaction, $\Delta H_{rxn}$ is positive for these reactions.

Exothermic reactions: These are the reactions where heat is released by the reaction. The change in enthalpy of the reaction, $\Delta H_{rxn}$ is negative for these reactions.

For (1):

For the given chemical reaction:

$2NH_3(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3H_2(g);Delta H=160kJ$

As the change in enthalpy or heat of the reaction is positive. Thus, the reaction is an endothermic reaction because heat is absorbed by the reaction.
