nearly all chemical reactions will occur (at various rates depending on the individual nature of the reaction) at common temperatures. examples are the breakdown of many chemical explosives into more unstable compounds. nitroglycerine is notorious. old explosives are thus more dangerous (i.e., liable to be triggered to explode by very small disturbances, even trivial jiggling) than more recently manufactured explosives. rubber products also degrade as sulphur bonds induced during vulcanization revert; this is why old rubber bands and other rubber products soften and get sticky as they age.
