This means that the enthalpy term must be negative, implying an exothermic reaction.
Heat enters the cycle in high-temperature endothermic chemical reactions 2 and 3, and heat exits the cycle in the low-temperature exothermic reaction 1.
The condensed aerosol microparticles and effluent gases are generated by the exothermic reaction; until discharged from the device, the particles remain in vapor state.
Curing of epoxy resins is an exothermic reaction and in some cases produces sufficient heat to cause thermal degradation if not controlled.
The oxygen of the water fuels the exothermic reaction, leaving hydrogen bubbles which causes the compound to foam.
It has to be heated very gradually to prevent explosion due to its strong exothermic reaction.
It also undergoes an exothermic reaction which destroys the vessel wall.
Conversely, it can be seen on the exothermic reaction plot that as temperature increases, the equilibrium constant decreases.
