The correct answer is A. AB+ CD + energy-> AD+ CB
Explanation:
In chemistry, a reaction is endothermic if the reaction involves absorption of heat or energy and this is necessary for the reaction to start. In terms of the chemical equation, this implies energy is part of the reactants or initial substances. Besides this, if the reaction is a double-replacement reaction this means two ions of the original substances are swapped or replaced, which means new substances in the products.
According to this, option A is the correct chemical equation because energy is part of the reactants, which shows the reaction is endothermic and the reactants AB + CD lead to the products AD + CB which shows two ions of the compounds were replaced (double replacement).
