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 ...

The slideshow describes an exothermic reaction between dilute sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, and an endothermic reaction between sodium carbonate and ethanoic acid.

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 ...

Igniting a mixture of Fe2O3 and Al with a magnesium ribbon fuse produces molten iron and aluminum oxide in an impressive exothermic reaction. Pick the beverage can up to show the students. Place the ...

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 ...

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.
