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.

How does breaking cold pack release cold?

When a cold pack is broken, it initiates a chemical reaction between the substances inside the pack. This reaction absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, causing the pack to feel cold. Breaking the pack allows for the substances to mix and react, resulting in the release of cold temperatures.


When you activate an instant cold pack and water mixes with a chemical and the pack gets very cold what example is this?

This is an example of an endothermic chemical reaction, where energy is absorbed from the surroundings in the form of heat, causing the pack to become cold. The reaction between the chemicals in the instant cold pack and water absorbs heat from the environment, resulting in the cooling effect.

Which compound could you use to make a cold pack?

You can use ammonium nitrate to make a cold pack. When the salt dissolves in water, it absorbs heat from its surroundings, causing the pack to become cold.


Example how a cold pack works?
