There are so many examples of exothermic reactions that is the reactions in whoch energy is released.
All the oxidation reactions are exothermic reactions .
similarly hydrogenation of alkenes like ethene,cyclohexene etc. are also exothermic reactions with different energies being released during these reactions.
The cause for release of energy during these reactions is simple, if the energy relleased due to formation of new bonds that is the bonds of products is more than the energy consumed for breaking the bonds of reactants then such reactions are exothermic.
So, ENTHALPY CHANGE =Bond energy of reactants - Bond energy of Products
The amount of energy released is thus dependent on the values of bond energies.
For example in case of hydrogenation of cyclohexene, Benzene and Cyclooctene these values are 120 kj/mole, 210 kj/mole and 23 kcal/mole respectively

Is fireworks an example of exothermic change?
It's a exothermic reaction because heat and light is being released.
Is a firecracker exploding an example of an endothermic reaction or an exothermic reaction?
Exothermic Reaction because the fizzing is CO2 being released as heat (energy).
Which is an exothermic chemical reaction?
An exothermic reaction is a reaction with release of heat. As an example the burning reaction of methane: CH4 + 2 O2 ------→ CO2 + 2 H2O
Is oil an example of an exothermic reaction?
I do not think so...
Are bubble forming in a soda an example of exothermic reaction?
No, the formation of bubbles in a soda is not an example of an exothermic reaction. It is actually a result of a physical process called carbonation, where carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the liquid under pressure.
A reaction that releases energy in the form of heat?
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
Energy is released when?
For example in an exothermic chemical reaction.
Is exothermic reaction an example of photosynthesis?
An exothermic reaction is a reaction where heat or light energy is released. An example of this type of reaction is burning a candle.
What kind of chemical reaction is an exothermic reaction?
Exothermic reaction: reaction with release of heat; for example burning of organic materials (oxydation of carbon) is a typical exothermic reaction.
Is lightning a match of an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
It is exothermic, since it evolves heat. ^^ according to my Chemistry teacher, it's exothermic and endothermic.
Is fireworks an example of exothermic change?
It's a exothermic reaction because heat and light is being released.

I do not think so...
What is a non-example of an exothermic reaction?
Any endothermic reaction, for instance photosynthesis.
Are bubble forming in a soda an example of exothermic reaction?
No, the formation of bubbles in a soda is not an example of an exothermic reaction. It is actually a result of a physical process called carbonation, where carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the liquid under pressure.
A reaction that gives out energy?
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
