Exothermic Reaction

Lighters, lighters are a very simple form of an Exothermic reaction. Lighters ignite the fuel in them then they produce flames out the exhaust of the tool. This is an Exothermic reaction the chemicals final energy is less than its starting energy and the difference has been adding to the surroundings as light and heat. Butane is a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas used in cigarette lighters. Napatha or white gas, a volatile flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture used in wick type lighters. Depending on the fuel in the lighters, the final reaction may vary.
