An explosion is a type of spontaneous chemical reaction that, once initiated, is driven by both a large exothermic change ( great release of heat ) and a large positive entropy change ( great quantities of gases are released ) in going from reactants to products, thereby constituting a thermodynamically favorable process in addition to one that propagates very rapidly.

If ΔH is positive, the reaction is endothermic, that is heat is absorbed by the system due to the products of the reaction having a greater enthalpy than the reactants.
