Question

The dilution test of strong acid of H2SO4 and strong base like NaOH is exothermic ? Explain this matter by an example ​

Answer 1

Yes, the dilution test of a strong acid    and a strong base of NaOH is exothermic in nature.

An explanation for the given answer is provided below in detail:-

• Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration level of a substance by adding water.
• The process of dilution release a large amount of heat as the concentrated substance gets mixed with water and a large amount of heat is released upon such dilution. Thus, making it an exothermic reaction.
• An example of this is the dilution of hydrochloric acid.

Hence, the process of dilution of a strong acid or base is an exothermic reaction.
