Answer 1

A large amount of heat is released when strong acids like sulfuric acidand HCl are mixed with water. ... So much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container and all this because the reaction isexothermic.


· When an acid is dissolved in water, the energy absorbed due to its dissociation is lesser than the energy released due to hydration of resultant ions. Therefore, the net process is exothermic i.e. energy is released when acid is dissolved in water. Therefore, the process of adding acid to water is exothermic.
