Addition of mineral acids to alkenes can result in exothermic alkene-addition reactions, forming alkyl halides in the case of hydrohalic acids (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 134).
Strong acids can initiate the exothermic polymerization of olefins. These reactions can be violent (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 244).
