- The first step in the synthesis of alum is to react aluminum with potassium hydroxide. Why does this need to be heated? to speed up the reaction, but it doesn't need to be heated the whole time. The reaction is exothermic and will eventually produce enough heat to progress on its own. to make the reaction happen. It must be heated the whole time or the reaction will stop. to slow the reaction down. It will proceed too quickly without heat. It doesn't need heating. It might catch fire if it is heated.arrow_forwardThe airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces large volumes of nitrogen gas. 1.
