Question

when concentrated acid is added to water identify whether the process is exothermic or endothermic ??

Open in App
Solution

It should be noted that the process of adding water to acid, and the process of adding acid to water, are both exothermic. Because a lot of heat is released during this. And hence it is told not to add water to acid since it may lead to an explosion.

Hope this helps :)
