Instant heat packs contain a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate that heats up when the crystallization process is started by flexing a metal disc embedded in the liquid. Since the liquid is supersaturated (concentration of a solution beyond saturation point), flexing the notched ferrous metal disc makes the solution crystallize suddenly, thereby releasing the energy of the crystal lattice.

What is a real life chemical reaction that releases heat?
Heat packs!
Does nexcare instant cold packs have amonia nitrate?
According to the msds it should, if you can see 2640 written on it anywhere.
Why can't you refreeze instant cold packs?
actually, you can.
Canvas fabric hot packs in hydrocollator has what in it?
it is a clay that absorbs the heat from the water and provides lasting heat for the treatment for the patient.
What chemicals react to make a hot pack hot?
Yes, hot packs have exothermic reactions (the contents create heat) and cold packs have endothermic reactions (they require heat to occur, therefore making the surroundings colder). In hot packs its a reaction between water and a salt solution, and in cold packs its normally water and ammonium nitrate. peeace
Are sodium acetate instant heat packs mixtures?
Yes, the compound in the packs is a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate.
What is an instant cool pack?
It's literally a pack that instantly cools by either shaking, or breaking the packet that's inside the outer packet, and mixing the ingredients together. It then, INSTANTLY, cools. Same for instant heat packs.
Instant cold packs can be reused?
Instant cold packs cannot be reused once they are activated. The chemical makeup inside the package was created for one time use.
Where can you find ammonium nirate?
inside most instant cold packs
How do cold packs work?
Instant hot and cold packs are used by athletes to quickly and conveniently treat an injury. They last for about 20 minutes. The packs take advantage of chemicals that either absorb a lot of heat or release a lot of heat when dissolved in water. When a chemical process absorbs a lot of heat it is called endothermic. When heat is released, it is called exothermic. In cold packs, ammonium nitrate is used because it absorbs a lot of heat when it dissolves in water. The water and ammonium nitrate are in separate compartments in the pack. When the cold pack is needed, the chambers are broken and the ammonium nitrate dissolves in the water, absorbing heat and making the pack as cold as 0C. In hot packs, calcium chloride or magnesium sulphate are used, along with the water. They release heat when the chambers are broken and the chemical dissolves in the water. A hot pack can reach a temperature of 90C. :)
