Combustion, neutralization, metal oxidation Thermite reaction The reaction of more active metals with acids and the reaction from unstable substances to stable substances are mostly exothermic (but we should note that the transformation of graphite into diamond under high pressure is exothermic, although it is the opposite under normal pressure), and most decomposition reactions are endothermic (but they cannot be absolute, for example, the decomposition of potassium chlorate into potassium chloride and oxygen is a common exothermic reaction) Spontaneous Redox reaction All are exothermic reactions. The combustion reaction and neutralization reaction in common reactions are exothermic reactions, acid base neutralization reaction, metal acid reaction, metal water reaction, combustion reaction and explosion reaction, which are all exothermic reactions. In specific judgment, it is often necessary to combine the facts in memory. Exothermic Reverse reaction By all means Endothermic reaction [2]

(2) Acid base neutralization reaction.
Exothermic reaction
(3) Most chemical reactions.
(4) Active metal generates H with water or acid two Reaction.
(5) Many Redox reaction (but not absolute). Such as hydrogen, charcoal or Reduction of copper oxide by carbon monoxide Are typical exothermic reactions.
(6) NaOH or concentrated sulfuric acid is dissolved in water (Note: these two points only mean exothermic, but strictly speaking, they are not chemical reactions, and should be noted during the exam)

Combination reaction

Most chemical reactions are exothermic
The formation reaction of hydride is exothermic
For example, hydrogen and fluorine explode in the dark: H two +F two =2HF
The formation of 2 oxides is exothermic reaction
For example, burning charcoal in air or oxygen gives off heat: C+O two = CO two
3 Formation reaction of oxyacid
for example Sulfur trioxide Dissolving in water to generate sulfuric acid is an exothermic reaction: SO three +H two O=H two SO four
4 The formation reaction of strong base is exothermic
For example, sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide Heat release: Na two O+H two O=2NaOH

decomposition reaction

Few decomposition reactions are exothermic
For example, ammonium nitrate decomposes when heated or impacted and explodes. Exothermic reaction: 2NH four NO three =2N two ↑+O two ↑ +4H two O

Displacement reaction

Most displacement reactions are exothermic
1 Example of exothermic reaction between active metal and water
Reaction of metal sodium with water
Exothermic reaction of sodium and water: 2Na+2H two O=2NaOH+H two
2. Examples of exothermic reaction between active non-metal and water
Heat release during displacement reaction of fluorine gas and water: 2F two +2H two O→4HF+O two
3 Simple aluminum and some metallic oxide Examples of exothermic reactions occurring
Aluminum powder and manganese dioxide Heat release during displacement reaction: 4Al+3MnO two =2Al two O three + 3Mn
4 Example of exothermic displacement reaction between active metal and acid
Exothermic reaction of metal sodium and hydrochloric acid: 2Na+2HCl=2NaCl+H two

Metathesis reaction

Acid base neutralization reaction is exothermic
Neutralization reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution
The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution is exothermic: HCl+NaOH=NaCl+H two O

How to distinguish

The essence of chemical reaction is: the breaking of old bonds and the formation of new bonds, and the newly formed chemical bonds are generally more stable than the old bonds. The covalent electrons jump from the high energy level to the low energy level and release energy, while the breaking of the old bonds needs to absorb energy, so whether the final chemical reaction is endothermic or exothermic depends on the difference in energy changes before and after the reaction. If the energy is insufficient, it needs to absorb heat from the outside, otherwise it needs to release heat, Usually we use enthalpy change (△ H) to measure the thermal phenomenon before and after the reaction [3]
