Sodium hydroxide and HCl acid react as shown in this equation
`NaOH_((aq))+HCl_((aq))toNaCl_((aq))+H_(2)O`
(i) Which type of chemical reaction is this ?
(ii) The reaction is exothermic. Explain what that means ?
(iii) Differentiate exothermic and endothermic reaction.
(iv) What happens to the temperature of the solution as the chemicals react ?

Explanation

Neutralization reaction
When heat is evolved during a chemical reaction it is called exothermic.

Temperature of the solution increases.
