      Question

      What is the nature of the reaction when an acid or a

      base is dissolved in water?
      A Exothermic reaction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Endothermic reaction Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both exothermic and endothermic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Neither exothermic nor endothermic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Dissolving an acid or a base in water is typically an exothermic process, where heat is released. This is particularly notable with strong acids and bases, which can release a significant amount of heat, potentially posing hazards such as boiling or splattering if not handled carefully. This heat release is a result of the exothermic nature of the hydration process of the ions.
