In the neutralization reaction an acid reacts with a base, for example sulfuric acid reacts with barium hydroxide by reaction H2SO4 + Ba(OH)2 = BaSO4 + 2 H2O In this reaction new bonds are formed between H(+) and OH(-) and water molecules are formed. This reaction is exothermic, thus the solution gets hotter.
