It's simple logic I gained from my teachers explaination
When ∆H is positive > Reaction is endothermic
When ∆H is negative > Reaction is exothermic

Keep this as a reminder

my school this is very wrong the answer is option D(Endothermic reaction) because heat is absorbed and DeltaH is positive

When sodium nitrate dissolves in water and ∆H is positive, it means that the reaction is **endothermic**. In an endothermic process, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, which is indicated by a positive change in enthalpy (∆H). So, the correct answer is **D**.

The sign of ∆H does not directly tell us anything about whether the reaction is catalyzed (Option A), complete (Option B), or about the solubility of sodium nitrate in water (Option E). Therefore, options A, B, and E are incorrect. Option C is also incorrect because an exothermic reaction would have a negative ∆H, as it involves the release of heat to the surroundings.
