An exothermic process is a reaction that produces heat, like this segment which is “hot, hot, hot!” Rick Crosslin, scientist in residence at MSD Wayne Township Schools, has created a series of videos ...

Students explore the concept that chemical reactions involve the breaking of bonds between atoms in the reactants, and the rearrangement and rebonding of these atoms to make the products. Students ...

The ColdChip ™ is a mixer/reactor module designed to enable researchers to experiment with different chemistries, particularly exothermic reactions that need to be run safely in a cooled environment ...

Calorimetry measures the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. It is a beneficial and powerful tool that accurately evaluates chemical processes, helps researchers assess ...
