When solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs forming aqueous sodium chloride and water. What would you expect to observe if you ran the reaction in the laboratory

Respuesta :

Answer:

a change in temperature would be observed(ΔH is -ve)

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid react with sodium hydroxide to give salt(sodium chloride) and water

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) =====> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

There would be no notable change since sodium chloride dissolved in water but there would be a change in temperature.

Since neutralization is exothermic(heat is evolved), therefore ΔH is negative
