Examples of exothermic reaction

• The analysis of the inner reaction-diffusion layer yields the heat flux produced by the exothermic reaction.

• This local maximum exists because the pressure behind the shock decreases as a result of the exothermic reaction and/or geometric expansion.

• This is an exothermic reaction, so steps must be taken to control the temperature.

• Temperature is sometimes increased in a step-wise fashion to control the rate of curing and prevent excessive heat build-up from the exothermic reaction.

• This exothermic reaction produces the four industrially significant nitroalkanes: nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane.

• Lime hydration is an exothermic reaction that can be performed with water or steam.

• An exothermic reaction in the vessel generated enough steam to burst the container.

• Conversely, it can be seen on the exothermic reaction plot that as temperature increases, the equilibrium constant decreases.
