A reaction that gives off energy is an exothermic reaction. The reaction will give off energy in the form of either heat or light

An example of an exothermic reaction would be the curing of concrete.

One chemical reaction that will give off heat is the mixture of Caustic Soda and water. The water dissolves the Caustic Soda which in turn generates heat.

There are two types of reactions. Exothermic reactions give off heat, and endothermic reactions require that heat be added to make them work. Be careful with exothermic reactions. A rapid, energetic exothermic reaction is called an "explosion".
