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.

What type of reaction do you get when you mix ammonium chloride with water endo or exothermic?

good question endothermic. Ammonium chloride dissolves in water and makes it cold.


Is melting ice cubes endo or exothermic?

No, freezing is exothermic as the water loses energy to its surroundings as it freezes.


When an electric eel shocks its prey is that endothermic or exothermic?

When it shocks its prey its exothermic. A simple way to remember this is Endo- = In and Exo- = Out.


How can you tell dissolving ammonium nitrate is exothermic?

Dissolution is generally exothermic.


The temperature of true water is in a beaker is 25 c after adding a piece of magnesium to the water the temperature increase is this an exothermic or an endo thermetic?

exothermic ? because energy released


Is carbon dioxide formation endothermic and exothermic?

Exothermic because the heat of formation is -566. Exo- is negative and Endo- is positive.


What happens when Hydrochloric acid reacts with ammonium hydroxide is this a exotheermic or endothermic?

HCl + NH3 --> NH4Cl is already exothermic Ammonium hydroxide is the solution of NH3 in water, giving the following exothermic reaction: [NH4OH]aq + H+aq + Cl-aq --> NH4+aq + H2Oliq + Cl-aq


Is ammonium chloride is an exothermic?

The dissolution of ammonium chloride in water is an endothermic process, meaning it absorbs heat from its surroundings. This is because breaking the ionic bonds in solid ammonium chloride requires energy, resulting in a decrease in temperature.


What does hydrochloric acid and ammonia make?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and ammonia (NH3) react to form ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). This reaction is exothermic and produces white fumes of ammonium chloride.


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 the formation of ammonium nitrate crystals from an aqueous state endothermic or exothermic?

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


Is NaCl an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Only with very high heat. This compound can melt without decomposition.
