A Cold Compress typically consists of liquid water or capsules of water (H2O) with a separated, easily puncturable capsule or packet of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). When the packet or capsule of NH4NO3 is punctured and allowed to mix thoroughly with the H20, the resulting solution undergoes an rapid endothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction takes place when heat energy is absorbed from outside sources, in this case, causing the surrounding material to become colder then it's ambient temperature.
