The process of dissolving an acid or a base in water is a highly exothermic process.
(TRUE) True.
When an acid or a base is dissolved in water,it releases a significant amount of heat energy. This reaction is known as an exothermic process. Because of this,it is always recommended to add acid to water slowly with constant stirring,rather than adding water to a concentrated acid,to prevent the mixture from splashing out due to the sudden release of heat.
