What is the equation for heating ammonium nitrate?
The heat for this reaction is called the heat of solution for ammonium nitrate. When the reaction is finished, the system contains two substances, the calorimeter itself and the aqueous solution, and there is a heat associated with each component.
Does ammonium nitrate absorb heat?
yes when disolved in water. It is in cold packs.
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
What is the chemical equation for ammonium nitrate decomposes into nitrogen and water?
When ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is mixed with water, the dissolution of ammonium nitrate occurs - that is, it is broken up into its ions. This is endothermic, and is the driving reaction behind instant cold packs.
When placed into water will ammonium chloride decrease the temperature of the water?
The dissolution of ammonium chloride, like ammonium nitrate, is an endothermic process, meaning that it will absorb heat. The amount of heat absorbed per mole of ammonium chloride (53.49 g) is 14.7 kJ, enough to lower the temperature of one kilogram of water by 3.5 K.
What is the heat of solution of ammonium nitrate?
23.109 kJ/mol

What is the heat capacity of Ammonium perchlorate?
3
Does ammonium nitrate absorb heat?
yes when disolved in water. It is in cold packs.
What is in a cold pack?
Water and ammonium nitrate. When you break the tube of ammonium nitrate inside, it mixes with the water to cause an endothermic reaction that absorbs heat. That's why it gets cold.
Example how a cold pack works?
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.
What is the molar heat of solution for ammonium nitrate and calcium chloride?
81.1 kj/mol
What product will explode if stored next to a heat source?
Many; for example ammonium nitrate.
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
Why does mixing zinc powder ammonium chloride ammonium nitrate and spit create fire?
Ammonium Nitrate acts as an oxidizer to the reaction. Ammonium Chloride merely provides Cl- as a catalyst to the reaction. The water in the spit begins to decompose the Ammonium Nitrate, which produces Nitrous Oxide and water vapor. The water vapor decomposes more Ammonium Nitrate, creating an autocatalyitic effect. The heat provided from the decomposition ignites the zinc, creating more heat, which decomposes the Ammonium Nitrate at a faster rate, producing more gas more rapidly. The overall formula is: Zn(s) + NH4NO3(s) → N2(g) + ZnO(s) + 2 H2O(g) *Note* Sodium Chloride may also be used in place of Ammonium Chloride.
What is the chemical compound ammonium nitrate used for?
Ammonium nitrate is a white matter that is crystallised which is used commercially in farming and agriculture and also explosives. When put together with heat the matter can combust into a violent explosion. Beware!
What is the specific heat capacity of Polyester?
The specific heat capacity of polyester is 2.35degrees
