The discussion focuses on seeking examples of exothermic liquid reactions for a project, specifically looking for organic liquid-liquid reactions. The original poster expresses difficulty in finding suitable reactions despite extensive research. A suggestion is made to explore organic acid-base reactions, which are relevant to the topic. One specific example provided is the reaction between citric acid and sodium ethanoate, with an alternative suggestion to use sodium hydroxide for simpler calculations and more observable exothermicity. The conversation emphasizes the need for practical examples to aid in the project work.
