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 ...

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 ...

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

Students explore the concept that chemical reactions involve the breaking of bonds between atoms in the reactants, and the rearrangement and rebonding of these atoms to make the products. Students ...

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 ...
