Sentences with EXOTHERMIC (5)
Compounds are therefore of two kinds: those which absorb heat during their preparation, and consequently liberate heat when they are decomposed--such being termed endothermic; and those which evolve heat during their preparation, and consequently absorb heat when they are decomposed--such being called exothermic.
Seeing that there is a tendency in nature for the steady dissipation of energy, it follows that an exothermic substance is stable, for it tends to remain as it is unless heat is supplied to it, or work is done upon it; whereas, according to its degree of endothermicity, an endothermic substance is more or less unstable, for it is always ready to emit heat, or to do work, as soon as an opportunity is given to it to decompose.
Calcium hydroxide and water are both exothermic substances, absorbing heat when they are decomposed, liberating it when they are formed.
Putting the matter in another shape, it may be said that the reaction between calcium carbide and water is exothermic, evolving either 14.0 or 29.1 calories according as the byproduct is calcium oxide or solid calcium hydroxide; and therefore either reaction proceeds without external assistance in the cold.
Even the actual generation is only an exothermic, or heat-producing, reaction between a solid and a liquid, in which rise of temperature and pressure must be prevented as far as possible.
