  2. Nitroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroethane

    Nitroethane is an organic compound having the chemical formula C 2 H 5 NO 2. Similar in many regards to nitromethane , nitroethane is an oily liquid at standard temperature and pressure. Pure nitroethane is colorless and has a fruity odor.

  3. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    An energy profile of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, by definition, the enthalpy change has a negative value: ΔH = H products - H reactants < 0. where a larger value (the higher energy of the reactants) is subtracted from a smaller value (the lower energy of the products). For example, when hydrogen burns: 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g ...

  4. Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-propagating_high...

    Once started, a wave of exothermic reaction sweeps through the remaining material. SHS has also been conducted with thin films, liquids, gases, powder–liquid systems, gas suspensions, layered systems, gas-gas systems, and others. Reactions have been conducted in a vacuum and under both inert or reactive gases.

  5. Exothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_process

    An exothermic thermite reaction using iron(III) oxide. The sparks flying outwards are globules of molten iron trailing smoke in their wake. Some examples of exothermic processes are: [14] Combustion of fuels such as wood, coal and oil/petroleum; The thermite reaction [15] The reaction of alkali metals and other highly electropositive metals ...

  6. Bulk polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_polymerization

    The problem of heat transfer is compounded by the highly exothermic nature of free radical addition polymerization. The polymerization is obtained with a broad molecular weight distribution due to the high viscosity and lack of good heat transfer. very high molecular weights are obtained. Gel effect.

  7. Ugi reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugi_reaction

    Using the principles of combinatorial chemistry, the Ugi reaction offers the possibility to synthesize a great number of compounds in one reaction, by the reaction of various ketones (or aldehydes), amines, isocyanides and carboxylic acids. These libraries can then be tested with enzymes or living organisms to find new active pharmaceutical ...

  8. Thermal runaway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway

    Chemical reactions involving thermal runaway are also called thermal explosions in chemical engineering, or runaway reactions in organic chemistry.It is a process by which an exothermic reaction goes out of control: the reaction rate increases due to an increase in temperature, causing a further increase in temperature and hence a further rapid increase in the reaction rate.

  9. Nitro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    Chloramphenicol is a rare example of a naturally occurring nitro compound. At least some naturally occurring nitro groups arose by the oxidation of amino groups. [17] 2-Nitrophenol is an aggregation pheromone of ticks. Examples of nitro compounds are rare in nature. 3-Nitropropionic acid found in fungi and plants .
