While you're watching, look out for the different household items which can be used for exothermic and endothermic reactions. A Bunsen burner flame is produced by burning methane gas. The ...

Iron oxide, aluminum, and a catalyst are placed in a flowerpot. The reaction is extremely exothermic resulting in molten iron and aluminum dripping into sand below the flowerpot. The demonstration ...

There probably aren’t many people out there who aren’t aware of what thermite is and how it demonstrates the power of runaway exothermic reactions. Practical applications that don’t involve ...

Students investigate reactions which produce a gas, form a precipitate, and cause a color change. Students also explore endothermic and exothermic reactions and do an engineering activity to design a ...

All combustion reactions (such as the burning of coal) are exothermic. Incredibly, the reaction between iron and moist air that produces rust is a very exothermic process and generates lots of heat.

This is an exothermic reaction which releases a great deal of heat — over 2.5 times the amount generated by a similar amount of nitroglycerin. Naturally, the hydrogen gas generated is then free ...

Subsequently, ammonia and carbon dioxide are combined in an exothermic reaction to form carbamate salt, which is heated to create urea. Data from Eurostat, the European Commission’s statistics agency ...

The Uniqsis ColdChipTM is an ideal tool for chemistry researchers to experiment with different chemistries particularly exothermic reactions where these can be run safely in a cooled environment with ...

It’s easy to see then, that chemical hand warmers release energy though an exothermic reaction. If they didn’t, they would be kind of pointless. Tom May is a freelance writer and author of the ...

The flowing of molten rocks through small cracks in the heart of volcanoes may have been a perfect environment to forge the building blocks of life on Earth. Heat flows moving through cracks in ...
