Ammonium nitrate and water are in separate compartments in the cold pack. To activate the cold pack, you break the compartments in the pack so the ammonium nitrate and water mix. The ammonium nitrate absorbs all of the heat, making the water ice cold.

When you activate an instant cold pack water mixes with a chemical and the pack gets very cold This is an example of?
its an endothermic reaction
When you activate an instant cold pack and water mixes with a chemical and the pack gets very cold what example is this?
It is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is absorbing heat.
Why does a cold pack get cold when the chemical reacts?
A cold pack creates a endothermic reaction when the chemical reacts, which means that energy is taken from the surrounding, which makes the packaging cold. it is the opposite with a heat pack, an exothermic reaction is created which releases the energy into the surrounding creating the heat. Hope this helped.
Is urea dangerous in a cold pack?
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.
What can be mixed to produce a very cold effect that doesn't give off an unsafe gas?
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.

Explain which type of reaction exothermic or endothermic would be required to make a cold and a cold pack or hot pack?
You would have to have an Eacthomatdid reaction of chemcal chance to change a cold pack to a hot pack.
Should cold pack or heat make a lump down?
A cold pack is to make lumps go down and a heat pack is for when your sick.
Can you be poisoned from a cold pack?

Nortech Laboratories Inc. www.nortechlabs.com Hot Cold Therapy Pack: Therma-Kool
How does breaking cold pack release cold?
the chemicals inside react to create the cold
How is energy transferred when an instant cold pack is put on a muscle injury?
Heat energy is transferred by conduction from the muscle to the cold pack.
How is energy transferred when an instant cold pack is put on muscle injury?
Heat energy is transferred by conduction from the muscle to the cold pack.
When do you throw away the cold pack?
when you are done with it or when it stops being cold.
