Hey Guys, I have a question regarding endothermic reaction and exothermic reaction. A reaction between NaOH and HCl in coffee cup calorimeter takes place and the temperature of the solution increases. Now would you call this an endothermaic or exothermic. I thought it's endothermic since DeltaH is positive. but according to examkracker heat is released because the temperature of the solution rises. Hope someone can resolve my confusion.
