Answer:
d) this is an exothermic reaction.
Explanation:
The reaction between HCl and KOH results in an increase in temperature in the solution. Select the correct statement from the list below.
a) this is an endothermic reaction
. NO. This would cause a decrease in the temperature of the solution.
b) this is a phase change reaction
. NO. All the species remain in the aqueous phase.
c) this is a vaporization reaction
. NO. All the species remain in the aqueous phase.
d) this is an exothermic reaction. YES. The reaction releases heat, so it is exothermic.
