Answer:

Endothermic

Step-by-step explanation:

Endothermic reaction is one in which the enthalpy increases. What this implies is that, it is a closed system which absorbs heat from its surroundings and thus after reaction become cooler than prior to the reaction.

In this case, the mixture of the two liquids feel colder to touch. Thus, it is an endothermic reaction from the definition earlier given.
