Gerald's science teacher mixed liquid X and liquid Y, both at room-temperature, in a large beaker. two beakers of clear solutions to the left of a right-pointed arrow, and a large beaker with a clear solution to the right of the arrow The mixture in the large beaker still looked clear like water, but when the students, one at a time, carefully touched the outside of the large beaker, it felt warm to the touch. Why did the large beaker most likely feel warm? A. The two liquids were not soluble in water. B. The release of a gas heated the solution. C. A chemical reaction produced a new substance. D. The energy of mixing warmed the liquids.
