RRB JE 2025 CBT 2 Mechanical and Allied Engg Question Paper English (2-Jul-2026) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

All combination reactions are endothermic in nature

To determine which statement is incorrect regarding combination reactions, let's examine each option:

  1. All combination reactions are endothermic in nature: This statement is incorrect. Combination reactions can be either exothermic or endothermic. For instance, the reaction between quicklime (CaO) and water to form slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) is exothermic, as it releases heat.
  2. Burning of coal is an example of a combination reaction: This statement is correct. When coal (which primarily contains carbon) burns in oxygen, it forms carbon dioxide (CO2), representing a combination reaction where two reactants form a single product.
  3. Combination reactions form a single product from two or more reactants: This statement is correct. By definition, combination reactions involve the formation of a single product from multiple reactants.
  4. CaO reacts with H₂O to form Ca(OH)₂ with the release of heat: This statement is correct. The reaction between calcium oxide (CaO) and water to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is a classic example of an exothermic combination reaction.

Based on the analysis, the incorrect statement is "All combination reactions are endothermic in nature."
