The scientific word for burning is combustion. All combustion reactions give off heat into their surroundings. So they’re described as exothermic reactions. But there are other exothermic ...

Heat packs that contain iron and water packets: Exposing the solution to air results in the oxidation of the iron (creates rust). The oxidation of the iron is an exothermic process. Heat packs that ...

These systems are characterized by alternating layers of reactive materials that can undergo exothermic reactions, releasing substantial amounts of heat. This heat can be harnessed for various ...

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 ...

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 ...
