Ammonium nitrate is a very common fertilizer; also used in explosives and cold packs.
You get ammonium ions (NH4+) and nitrate ions (NO3-) in solution. Also: It is also a common combination in cold packs. The Ammonium nitrate and the salt are in separate containers. When you squeeze the innermost container with the water in it, the two ingredients mix. As the Ammonium melts it gets cold.
Instant cold packs use water and ammonium nitrate. The ammonium nitrate is a powder found inside the cold pack, and the water is inside a plastic container inside the cold pack. When the plastic container containing the water is broken and mixed with the ammonium nitrate, the water dissolves the ammonium nitrate, which is overall an endothermic reaction, causing the cold pack to get cold.
No. Silica Gel packs remove moisture. Deoxidizer packs remove oxygen.
In cold packs is usedAmmonium nitrate. It's dangerous because it can explode. But for this it must be absolutely dry.In a cold pack it is in a water solution. Nevertheless you shouldn't eat it or contact it a long time with your skin. In case of a damage of the cold pack you can just wash it away with water.
no you cant. your thinking of the shake n bake one pot method and one has to use amonia nitrate, not urea.
The formula of ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3. By the way, to make ammonium nitrate, add nitric acid to ammonia. Ammonium nitrate is used commercially in instant cold packs.
- ammonium nitrate is a very known fertilizer- explosives (bombs)- cold packs
is there ammonium nitrate found in walgreens cold packs

yes when disolved in water. It is in cold packs.
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. :)
Endothermic. That is why it is used in ice packs.
According to the msds it should, if you can see 2640 written on it anywhere.
An endothermic reaction, normally used in cold packs as the cooling agent.

In a chemical ice pack you have to break some sort of seal so that two chemicals react. The chemicals that are used are chosen because when mixed they create an endothermic reaction causing it to feel cold
