Answer:

The reaction of most mineral acids with water are exothermic in nature, which means that a lot of heat is produced in these reactions. In case of concentrated acids, the reaction with water is considered hazardous due to it's explosive nature.

Explanation:

Therefore, in case of reaction of nitric acid which is relatively a very strong acid with water, a lot of heat is released in the reaction which concludes us to have the observation of the solution becoming warm.
