(B) reaction proceeds with fall in temperature
Mixing of solid barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2] and solid ammonium chloride [NH4Cl] in a ratio of 2 : 1 by weight at room temperature in a test tube sets an endothermic reaction and it proceeds by absorbing energy from the surrounding. Thus, there is a fall in temperature and especially the bottom of the test tube becomes cold.
