a chemical reaction in which heat is released.
That characteristic of a chemical reaction, such as fuel combustion, in which heat is liberated.
Any chemical reaction which has a net output of energy.
A reaction which is exothermic releases heat.
a process or chemical reaction that releases heat
Reactions in which heat flows from the system to the surroundings are called exothermic. We can often detect exothermic reactions by observing an increase in temperature.
a change which produces heat. (see endothermic, exothermic reaction)
Formed by or characterized by heat reaction as in oxidation.
A chemical reaction that occurs with the liberation of heat
a reaction in which heat is liberated, often rapidly or explosively.
Characterized by the liberation of heat.
A chemical reaction in which the combined energy of the products is smaller than the combined energy of the reactants because of loss of energy to the surroundings during the change.
A process in which a system gives off heat to the surroundings. See endothermic.
A reaction in which heat is given off as in a fire, or in the combination of water and lithium bromide.
is the term given to a reaction which gives of heat.
(of a chemical reaction or compound) occurring or formed with evolution of heat
a chemical reaction which gives off heat to the environment, that is, heat is released from the system.
This applies to any reaction that gives off heat. Gamma (radiation) : A high-energy electromagnetic ray emitted from the nucleus of some types of radioactive atom when they decay.
An animal that relies on its environment as a source of heat; cold-blooded.
Reaction that gives off heat to the environment.
Pertaining to a chemical reaction which occurs with the evolution of heat.
accompanied by absorption/emission of heat
Characterized by a chemical reaction to heat.
A chemical reaction where heat is released along with the products. The opposite is an endothermic reaction, which involves an intake of heat energy for the reaction to occur.
refers to a reaction in which energy (as heat) flows out of the system.
Reactions that proceed with release of enthalpy (heat energy) are termed exothermic; see endothermic.
Chemical reactions which release heat; the opposite of endothermic reactions which require heat to proceed.
A process or reaction which is accompanied by the creation of heat.
Characterized by or formed with liberation of heat.
Indicating a reaction which liberates heat.
a characteristic meaning a release of energy, especially heat
A term used to describe a chemical reaction that releases heat energy.
A reaction where the product is at a higher energy level than the reactants.
A reaction or process that produces heat; a combustion reaction.
(exo:outside,external ; thermic: related to heat) heat-releasing
a reaction which releases energy (i.e., warms its surroundings), H is negative.
A term used to describe a chemical process in which heat is released. For example, combustion is an exothermic process because heat is released. ( 0204)
A process or chemical reaction which is accompanied by evolution of heat, for example, combustion reactions.
A term used to characterize a chemical reaction that gives off heat as it proceeds. To Top
Gives off heat. A process is said to be exothermic when it releases heat.
Pertaining to a chemical reaction which releases heat.
A process which releases rather than absorbs, heat energy.
A reaction which produces heat as a by product of the reaction process.
Describes processes that release heat energy.
Heat energy is released in an exothermic reaction. We know this because the surroundings get warm. Useful products from air
Pertaining to heat generation. A chemical reaction is exothermic if it liberates heat as the reaction proceeds. F-number /#) The ratio of focal length to aperture for a lens assembly.
A foaming agent's chemistry causing heat to be generated when gases are released.
A process or reaction that releases heat. For example, wood burning in the presence of oxygen is an example of an exothermic reaction.
Referring to a chemical reaction that releases heat.
Chemical reaction in which heat is given off during the formation of chemical compounds. An example is the heat given off during the formation of carbon dioxide produced by the chemical reaction of oxygen with carbon during a fire. Most exothermic compounds are stable; that is, they cannot be easily decomposed. A reaction that produces heat.
A chemical reaction that gives of heat.
In thermodynamics, the word exothermic describes a process or reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. Its etymology stems from the Greek prefix ex-, meaning “outside†and the Greek word thermein, meaning “to heatâ€. The opposite of an exothermic process is an endothermic process, one that absorbs energy in the form of heat.
