We usually refer to reactions where chemical energy is converted to heat energy as being "exothermic". When a reaction is exothermic, it will result in the release of heat unless the energy being released is taken up by some other mechanism - for example by the expansion of a gas. The second law of thermodynamics pretty much guarantees that at least SOME of the energy released in an exothermic reaction will wind up as heat.

The energy comes from the breaking of chemical bonds.
Some examples: -- light a match -- light a candle -- burn oil in a furnace -- burn charcoal in the barby -- mix plaster and water -- break the capsule inside self-heating gloves or socks
