Commercial heat packs (containing iron and water, or supersaturated sodium acetate) and cold packs (various ammonium salts) can be used to show exo- and endothermicity. Heat packs that contain iron ...

To make a safe, portable form of heating to take to the rest of the team working up on the glacier. All combustion reactions (such as the burning of coal) are exothermic. Incredibly, the reaction ...

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 destroying ...

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 ...

IT is generally agreed that the oxidation of hydrocarbons occurs by steps such as: The initial stage of oxidation as depicted by (1) is endothermic, while (2) and (3), and also many subsequent ...
