Yes.
Example:
Nitrogen Triiodide NI3
This is a very unstable compound due to the loan pair on the nitrogen.
2NI3 --> N2 + 3I2
Nitrogen gas is very stable and is a thermodynamic sink causing a large amount of energy (explosive) to be released during its formation.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoI think it is an exothermic (heat releasing) reaction, because it is one of the primary combustible gasses in wood gas.

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.
Is the reaction of borax and water endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic reaction
Is a combustion reaction an endothermic reaction?
No, it is exothermic.
Is the reaction between HF and NaOH an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
EXTREMELY!!!!! exothermic. As in fires and explosions exothermic.
What kind of chemical reaction is exothermic reaction?
An exothermic reaction is one that proceeds with the evolution of heat.
Is a fire cracker an endothermic reaction?
No, it is not.
Why does wood get hotter when you a fire?
Burning is an exothermic reaction.
What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?
Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.
Is fire exothermic?
This is an incomplete question. You mean to say, "Is fire an exothermic reaction?". Even when the question is phrased this way, it still doesn't make sense. Fire is a product of a reaction, meaning energy (in form of heat) is produced. If fire is being produced, then the reaction that caused the release of heat is the exothermic reaction, not the fire.
What reaction releases energy?
exothermic reactions release energy, like a fire, which releases heat ( also endothermic reactions requires and takes/absorbs energy for its reaction like photosynthesis which requires sunlight)
A reaction that gives out energy?
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
A reaction that releases energy in the form of heat?
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
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.
What is the type of heat reaction which occurs when heat is given off by the reaction?
Heat is released during an exothermic reaction.
What are some nouns for fire?
fire, flame, conflagration, inferno, oxidation, exothermic reaction, blaze, incandescence.
What are some of the examples of exothermic?
Burning wood in a fire is exothermic. It gives off heat to the surroundings. In fact any reaction that gives off heat to the surroundings is exothermic.
Is wood burning a exothermic reaction?
exothermic reaction
