Ice Packs
- When ammonium nitrate is mixed with water, an endothermic reaction occurs.
- In endothermic reactions, energy is absorbed rather than emitted. This causes the mixture to cool rather than heat up or give off light.
- This property of ammonium nitrate can be used when making "ice packs".
Interesting Video:
Not the best video but it visually gets the point across. You might want to turn off the sound because the music is horrid.
