Examples An exothermic thermite reaction using iron(III) oxide. (9 words)

Example sentences (20)
The battery's internal temperature remains relatively constant throughout the charging and discharging cycles, due to its endothermic and exothermic properties.
As an analogy, glucose can be compared to gasoline and ketones to a wood log in terms of the duration of energy production through the exothermic reaction when these energy sources are burned.
During crystallization, cells are maintained at a manageable temperature because the chemical reaction is exothermic, which means it is releasing heat.
Although the reactants are stable at room temperature, they burn with an extremely intense exothermic reaction when they are heated to ignition temperature.
A relatively easy way to determine whether or not a reaction is exothermic or endothermic is to determine the sign of ΔH.
A steady stream of oxygen gas is then produced by the exothermic reaction.
Care must also be taken to avoid freezing or overheating due to the exothermic setting of cement.
Dust explosions Pyrite oxidation is sufficiently exothermic that underground coal mines in high-sulfur coal seams have occasionally had serious problems with spontaneous combustion in the mined-out areas of the mine.
Endothermic (and exothermic) analysis only accounts for the enthalpy change (∆H) of a reaction.
Examples An exothermic thermite reaction using iron(III) oxide.
Exothermic (and endothermic) describe two types of chemical reactions or systems found in nature, as follows.
It is an exothermic reaction which can release large amounts of energy both as electromagnetic radiation and as kinetic energy of the fragments ( heating the bulk material where fission takes place).
Its mass fraction gravitational binding energy would then be 0.187, −18.7% (exothermic).
That it is negative shows that the reaction, if it were to proceed, would be exothermic ; that is, it is enthalpically more stable than hydrogen gas and carbon.
The fusion of lighter nuclei, which creates a heavier nucleus and often a free neutron or proton, generally releases more energy than it takes to force the nuclei together; this is an exothermic process that can produce self-sustaining reactions.
The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases, "gives out" energy in the form of (usually, but not always) heat.
The oxygen of the water fuels the exothermic reaction, leaving hydrogen bubbles which causes the compound to foam.
The presence of an exothermic event can then be used to assess the stability of a substance to heat.
The reaction between cyanoacrylate and baking soda is very exothermic (heat-producing) and also produces noxious vapors.
The reaction of potassium with water is dangerous because of its violent exothermic character and the production of hydrogen gas.
