Question

in a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid (hcl) and sodium hydroxide (naoh), the temperature increases by 8°c. what type of reaction is this? exothermic endothermic unchanging in energy

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions release heat, causing an increase in temperature. Since the temperature increases in the reaction between HCl and NaOH, it is exothermic. Endothermic reactions absorb heat and would cause a temperature decrease, and reactions unchanging in energy would have no temperature change.

Answer:

exothermic
