Question

3) When a strong acid and a strong base were
mixed in a flask, the flask became very hot
and some fumes could be seen coming
out of it. What could be the possible reason
for this?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The neutralisation reaction of a strong base and a strong acid is highly exothermic, which means that energy is released during this reaction in the form of heat that may warm up the flask and also appear as fumes.
