Depends on how fast you are stirring..... Friction from very vigorous stirring could be one answer, but while this is a real phenomemon, it is unlikely ot be significant in most cases. Another answer is that an exothermic chemical reaction is taking place between the two chemicals in the beaker.

Zinc is added to a beaker containing hydrochloric acid and the beaker gets warm. What type of reaction is this?

This is a chemical reaction known as an exothermic reaction, as it releases heat. In this reaction, the zinc reacts with the hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.


If two chemicals are added together in a beaker and the beaker gets cold is that a chemical reaction?

Not necessarily. The cooling effect could also arise from mixing chemicals that absorb heat when mixed with each other, even though they do not react. The cooling could, of course, also indicate a chemical reaction.

When solids soak liquids up, the molecules of the liquid become entrapped in between the particles of the solid . A good example is how bread gets wet.
