I read the last post. Jerry is wrong, and clueless. Pixie is about right. Heat (q) in thermodynamics is exchanged between system and surroundings, or between two subsystems. If a chemical reaction occurs in a closed adiabatic system, then q = 0, regardless of whether the contents of the system warm up.
