However, exothermic reactions don't always release heat, sometimes the energy is released as light. For example, glowsticks release light without increasing in temperature.

The term reactive ground is commonly explained as a spontaneous exothermic reaction after it comes into contact with nitrates. The reaction of concern involves the chemical oxidation of sulphides ...

American Chemical Society: Chemistry for Life.The combustion of methane is an example of an exothermic reaction. More energy is released when the bonds in the products are formed than is used to break ...

The reaction of concern involves the chemical oxidation of sulphides (usually of iron or copper) by nitrates and the liberation of potentially large amounts of heat.
