Researchers have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can influence chemical reactions more strongly than traditional convection and conduction methods.

In this reaction, the catalyst is potassium permanganate. The reaction produces a lot of heat so the substance shooting out of the bottle is water vapor that is condensing in the cooler air. Oxygen ...

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 contain iron ...

Thermal means heat. Decomposing is the process of breaking down. Thermal decomposition is a chemical reaction that happens when a compound breaks down when heated. When sodium hydrogencarbonate is ...
