In a combustion reaction, fuel is burned and reacts with oxygen to release energy. Respiration is the chemical change that takes place inside living cells. Glucose and oxygen are used to release ...

A complete exothermic reaction demonstration with a chemical explanation. Using potassium permanganate and glycerol, Professor Mike Canestro will be performing a complete exothermic reaction ...

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 ...
