Question
Give examples of exothermic reactions i.e. heat evolved in each of the following:
(a) reaction between a solid and a liquid
(b) reaction between two gases
Give two examples of exothermic reactions seen in everyday life.
Solution
(a) Reaction between a solid and a liquid:
CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)3 + Δ
(b) Reaction between two gases are:
\[\ce{N2 + 3H2 ⇌[Fe-450°][200 atoms.] 2NH3 + \triangle}\]
[finely divided iron (Fe) - catalyst]
Examples of exothermic reactions are:
- Rusting of iron – the reaction is slow and the heat evolved is very less, hence unnoticeable.
- Setting of cement – cement setting liberates heat, hence concrete structures are set slowly.
- Human Body – many chemical reactions in our body are exothermic & provide energy to survive.
