It converts to heat!
Explanation:
- Think about what happens when you release a compressed spring : it converts the potential energy into kinetic energy.
- According to the elastic potential energy contained therein, the molecules are under stress in a compressed spring.
- When the acid dissolves the potential energy of the spring molecules. It is stored in it, and converted to kinetic energy and new molecule.
- Acid ion forms has this extra kinetic energy, because of this the acid temperature slightly increases.
- It means conversion of the elastic potential energy into heat energy.
