Solution of calcium hydroxide is used to white-wash walls. It reacts slowly with carbon dioxide present in the air to form a thin layer of carbonate which gives a shiny appearance.

 

(v) Which of the following is an endothermic reaction

1 Combination of carbon and oxygen to form carbon monoxide  
2 Combination of nitrogen and oxygen to form nitrogen monoxide  
3 Combination of glucose and oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water  
4 Combination of zinc and hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and hydrogen  

Ans.

(2)
