The 17 pages that link to Exothermic reaction, each with the reason it gives.

• EnthalpyCompared with: Its negative enthalpy change contrasts with heat-absorbing endothermic processes.

• Le Chatelier's principleRelated: Explains why ammonia synthesis favors low temperature at equilibrium yet is run hot for speed.

• Phosphorus pentoxideRelated: Hydration of phosphorus pentoxide releases substantial heat, adding to the danger of contact with water.

• Thermal runawayRelated: Exothermic reactions can supply the heat that drives a runaway cycle.

• Contact processRelated: Sulfur dioxide oxidation releases heat, so temperature affects both rate and equilibrium yield.

• NitroglycerinRelated: Nitroglycerin decomposition releases heat that accelerates the reaction and supports detonation.

• FireworksRelated: The heat released by pyrotechnic reactions drives light, gas, and sound production.

• Fire triangleRelated: Combustion releases heat that can maintain ignition and warm nearby fuel.

• ExplosiveRelated: Rapid heat release can accelerate an explosive reaction and expand its gases.

• Chemical energyBroader topic: It is a common way chemical energy leaves a reacting system.

• Water–gas shift reactionRelated: The shift reaction releases heat, making lower temperatures thermodynamically favorable for conversion.

• Hess's lawCompared with: Its negative sign must be retained when reaction steps are added.

• Aqua regiaRelated: Mixing the concentrated acids releases heat, so preparation can cause splashing and rapid fume release.

• ThermochemistryBroader topic: Its negative enthalpy change means products have lower enthalpy than reactants.

• Nitrogen triiodideNarrower topic: The decomposition releases energy rapidly, sustaining the detonation.

• LyeRelated: Dissolving solid lye in water releases enough heat to cause burns or boiling.

• Ammonium dichromateRelated: The decomposition releases enough heat to sustain the reaction after ignition.
