What happens when a solution of an acid is mixed with a solution of a base in a test tube?
P — The temperature of the solution increases.
Q — The temperature of the solution decreases.

Answer
P and S
Reason — When a solution of an acid is mixed with a solution of a base, it forms salt and water. This is referred to as neutralization reaction. Neutralization reactions are also exothermic reactions. Hence the temperature of the solution increases.
For example :
NaOH + HCl ⟶ NaCl + H2O + Heat
