  2. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    For gas-phase reactions, ΔH⚬ values are related to bond energies to a good approximation by: ΔH⚬ = total bond energy of reactants − total bond energy of products 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

  3. Exothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_process

    According to the IUPAC, an exothermic reaction is "a reaction for which the overall standard enthalpy change ΔH⚬ is negative". [4] Some examples of exothermic process are fuel combustion, condensation and nuclear fission, [5] which is used in nuclear power plants to release large amounts of energy. [6]

  4. Deposition (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(phase_transition)

    Deposition is the phase transition in which gas transforms into solid ... Deposition releases energy and is an exothermic phase change. See also. Phase transitions ...

  5. Thermochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemistry

    Thermochemistry is the study of the heat energy which is associated with chemical reactions and/or phase changes such as melting and boiling. A reaction may release or absorb energy, and a phase change may do the same. Thermochemistry focuses on the energy exchange between a system and its surroundings in the form of heat. Thermochemistry is ...

  6. Plasma recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_recombination

    Recombination is an exothermic process, meaning that the plasma releases some of its internal energy, usually in the form of heat. [2] Except for plasma composed of pure hydrogen (or its isotopes), there may also be multiply charged ions. Therefore, a single electron capture results in decrease of the ion charge, but not necessarily in a ...

  7. Phase-change material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-change_material

    A phase-change material (PCM) is a substance which releases/absorbs sufficient energy at phase transition to provide useful heat or cooling. Generally the transition will be from one of the first two fundamental states of matter - solid and liquid - to the other.

  8. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    The Van 't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant, K eq, of a chemical reaction to the change in temperature, T, given the standard enthalpy change, Δ r H ⊖, for the process. The subscript r {\displaystyle r} means "reaction" and the superscript ⊖ {\displaystyle \ominus } means "standard".

  9. Water–gas shift reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water–gas_shift_reaction

    With increasing temperature, the reaction rate increases, but hydrogen production becomes less favorable thermodynamically [5] since the water gas shift reaction is moderately exothermic; this shift in chemical equilibrium can be explained according to Le Chatelier's principle.
