Does an anaerobic exothermic reaction exist with similar properties to fire?

Yes, the halogens, particularly fluorine and chlorine are strong oxidizers like oxygen.
Substances can "burn" in these gases and produce a flame.

Can a exothermic reaction be used to fire an engine?
Yes. That is exactly what we use today. Most engines are powered by an exothermic reaction between gasoline or a similar fuel with oxygen.
Summarize the process of alcoholic fermentation in yeast?
Anaerobic respiration, namely alcoholic fermentation. This process is very similar to glycolysis, except for the fact that alcoholic fermentation replaces one enzyme with two enzymes that change pyruvic acid into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Is rusting an example of burning?
Fire is the oxidation of carbon in the form of wood or coal and is an exothermic reaction (releases heat). Rusting is the oxidation of iron which is also an exothermic reaction releasing small amounts of heat but to be considered burning it must be an intense heat. The reaction between oxygen and iron is too slow and releases its heat over too long a period of time but that is an interesting way to think about the reaction. That is similar to asking if H2O is a rusty H2 molecule.
How can endothermic and exothermic reactions work alike?
Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.
Are lithium and potassium similar properties?
Yes, they have similar chemical properties.
What Are some similities between photosynthesis and endothermic reaction?
It is a exothermic reaction. So there is nothing similar.

How are exothermic and exothermic reaction are different and how are they the same?
Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.
How does the hand warmer use a similar process to combustion when it gives off heat?
its not combustion just a slow exothermic reaction

What happens when you mix phosphorus triiodide and water?
Phosphorus triiodide reacts violently with water, so the reaction is exothermic. If a large amount of phosphorus triiodide is mixed, an explosion will most likely occur. If it is a small amount, then it will be similar to the reaction of potassium with water.

Are lithium and potassium similar properties?
Yes, they have similar chemical properties.
Electrons in the outer energy level and tend to have similar what?
Protons
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to the chemical properties of?
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to (in between) the chemical properties of magnesium and strontium.
Which element has the same properties as cesium?
Only caesium has the same properties as caesium. There are other elements which have some similar properties.
