Answer:

a change in temperature would be observed(ΔH is -ve)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrochloric acid react with sodium hydroxide to give salt(sodium chloride) and water

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) =====> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

There would be no notable change since sodium chloride dissolved in water but there would be a change in temperature.

Since neutralization is exothermic(heat is evolved), therefore ΔH is negative
