Endothermic. That is why it is used in ice packs.

Is ammonium endo or exothermic?

endothermic but don't know why? As AN crystals are formed the reaction is exothermic. Endothermic when it melts back with water. This is the reason AN is used in cold packs.


Why is the dissolution of ammonium chloride an exothermic reaction?

The dissolution of ammonium chloride is an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of heat. When ammonium chloride crystals are dissolved in water, the intermolecular forces between the ions and water molecules are stronger than the forces within the solid crystal lattice, resulting in the release of energy as heat.


Is cloud formation endothermic or exothermic?

Cloud formation is an endothermic process because water vapor molecules need to absorb heat energy from their surroundings in order to condense into liquid water droplets or ice crystals, releasing latent heat in the form of clouds.


What is the reaction between ammonium nitrate crystals and water?

An endothermic reaction, normally used in cold packs as the cooling agent.


Is endothermic energy occurring when crystals dissolve in water and the container gets hot?

No.I know that in endothermic reactions things absorb heat or get colder. In exothermic reactions they release heat or get warmer. So, since the container gets hot I guess the energy is exothermic.


Is ice crystals forming on window exothermic reaction?

Yes, the formation of ice crystals on a window is an exothermic process. When water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cold surface of the window, it loses heat energy and undergoes a phase change from a gas to a solid, releasing heat in the process.


What arrangement of atoms in a repeating pattern in a mineral causes the formation of?

The arrangement of atoms in a mineral sample can cause the formation of crystals.


What happens to ammonium chloride when heated?

When ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is heated, it undergoes sublimation, meaning it changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. This process causes the solid crystals to disappear and form a white smoke, which is composed of ammonium gas and hydrogen chloride gas.


Slow cooling of hot magma lead to the formation of what crystals?

large crystals


What does the presence of large crystals tell you about the rocks' formation?

Larger crystals suggest slower formation. Crystals would have less time to grow if cooled quickly, and so would be smaller.


Any research in ammonium fluoro antimonates in crystal growth?

An attempt is made by adding alkali metals with ammonium fluoro antimonates to improve the mechanical, optical and electrical properties . Also combined crystals of sodium fluro antimonates and potasium fluoro antimonates with ammonium fluoro antimonates are also grown as mixed crystals and their properties are being analysed....


Who studies crystals?

A person who studies crystals is known as a crystallographer. The study of crystal is known as crystallography which looks at the formation and development of crystals.
