Question

The reaction of an acid with a base is:

• A. Endothermic reaction
• B. Exothermic reaction
• C. Neutralization reaction
• D. Can’t be said

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B

Exothermic reaction

C

Neutralization reaction

The reaction between an acid and a base results in a salt and water as products. This reaction is called Neutralisation reaction.
An acid readily combines with a base in this process, while giving out heat energy. This type of reaction is called Exothermic reactions. So, the reaction of an acid and a base is Exothermic in nature.
