    Solution:

    Excess addition of hydrochloric acid will reverse the change of the given aqueous solution.
    Turning red litmus blue indicates that the given aqueous solution is basic in nature. Thus, the addition of HCl (which is acidic in nature) will reserve the change. When acid reacts with a base, it produces salt and water under a neutralisation reaction. The temperature of the solution also increases due to the release of heat.
