An exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of light or heat to its surroundings, contrasting with endothermic reactions which absorb energy. The term "Exo" denotes "release," and "thermic ...

Handwarmers are an example of an exothermic reaction. They release heat into their surroundings. However, exothermic reactions don't always release heat, sometimes the energy is released as light.

Introduction 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 ...

Students also explore endothermic and exothermic reactions and do an engineering activity to design a device using an exothermic reaction. Lessons: 6.1: What is a Chemical Reaction? 6.2: Controlling ...

Wikipedia: Chemical Reactions This article from Wikipedia, the Internet's free encyclopedia, explains a variety of chemical reactions, including exothermic and endothermic reations.
