Ammonium nitrate crystals and water. When you pop the water pack, the two undergo an endothermic reaction, forming ammonium and nitrate ions (NH4+ & NO3-). Water breaks the two parts of NH4NO3 into the positive and negative parts, and it takes heat energy from the surrounding area to make the separation. When it dries it recombines and releases that heat (not observed because water gets colder when it evaporates). So if you CAREFULLY cut that bag open and dry it, it will do the same thing again. I wouldn't want to eat the crystals or the end liquid. plant fertilizers don't make good food.

What could be the difference between iceberg ice and pack ice?

Iceberg ice is large chunks of ice that break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in the ocean, while pack ice is a mass of floating sea ice that forms and drifts with ocean currents. Iceberg ice is typically larger and more solid, while pack ice is a mixture of different types of sea ice that can be broken up into smaller pieces.


What is one form of frozen water in the South Pole?

The frozen water at the South Pole is fresh water ice.


Why a ice pack is shaken after the inner bag has burst?

Shaking an ice pack after the inner bag has burst helps to evenly distribute the contents inside the pack, ensuring that the pack reaches its optimal cooling temperature. This shaking motion helps to mix the contents and prevent any localized freezing or overheating. It also helps to activate any chemical reactions that may be necessary for the pack to reach its full cooling potential.


What makes ice float on the surface of water?

when crystal structure of ice breaks, the liberated molecule become associated so strongly that they pack together more closely than in ice crystal itself. as a consequence ice becomes less denser than water and floats on it


Why are the gases in each layer of ice different?

Layers of ice in a glacier or permanent ice pack form a sort of history. Snow falls on top of older layers of snow, and as it builds up the snow at the bottom gets compressed into ice. The gases in each layer represent the composition of the air at the time

How is energy transferred from an ice pack?

Energy is transferred from an ice pack through the process of conduction. When an ice pack comes into contact with a warm body, heat is transferred from the body to the ice pack, causing the ice to melt and absorb the heat energy.


How is heat transferred when a person holds an ice pack?

Heat will travel from the person's hand into the ice pack, where it will excite the molecules there and warm the ice pack.


Which way thermal energy will flow when you hold an ice pack in your hands?

Thermal energy will flow from your hands to the ice pack, since your hands are warmer than the ice pack. This will cause the ice pack to absorb heat and melt slightly.


Does ice pack cause redness?

Yes an ice pack does cause redness from cooling the skin.

What is pack ice?

Polar pack ice is snow which has been compacted into solid chunks of ice. It is found in the most extreme Northern and Southern regions of the planet.


What is ice pack in first aid?

An ice pack can be used to stop swelling and bruising and sometimes pain. It slows down the rush of all the blood in your body trying to rush to the injury.
