Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When a solution of acid is mixed with a solution of base in a test tube then the temperature of the solution increases and salt formation takes place. This is because the process is exothermic that is excess heat is produced by the acid-base reaction which is the net result of the processes of bond-breaking and bond-making.
