Exothermic hand warmers
Exothermic hand warmers Hand warmers work when you expose them to air. Once you have done this it causes a rusting inside the packet. The warmer contains water, cellulose, iron, vermiculite, activated carbon and salt. When exposed to air, these things cause the iron to rust at a slow rate which produces heat.

This is the word equation for the reaction:
Calcium monoxide + water >> calcium hydroxide + heat

This is the symbol equation for the reaction:
CaO + H2O >> Ca(OH)2 + heat

    The source of the heat for the self-heated can is an exothermic reaction that the user initiates by pressing on the bottom of the can. The can is manufactured as three containers. A container for the beverage surrounds a container of the heating agent separated from a container of water by a thin breakable membrane. When the user pushes on the bottom of the can, a rod pierces the membrane, allowing the water and heating agent to mix. The resulting reaction releases heat thus warms the beverage surrounding it.[1]…

    Both of the activities rise in temperature, showing the increase of the heat. This is because the reactants in the exothermic reactions had a greater amount of heat content than the products, and therefore producing a negative enthalpy. Activity B however created an endothermic reaction, absorbing heat from its surroundings, due to its lack of energy. Ammonium Chloride and Water had shown to have more products than reactants; and this consequently produced a positive enthalpy change. As Activity A and B produced exothermic reactions, they are most suitable for heat and eat packs. This is due to the fact that exothermic reactions project heat to its surroundings, and therefore heating the…

    There are many types of cold packs that can be used, the most common being ice in a bag of sorts. Another popular kind of ice pack is disposable that consists of a small, thin compartment that contains a salt (NH4NO3) inside a larger, thicker compartment that contains water. When the small compartment is broken open, the salt goes into the water and dissolves, which results in temperature change around 15°C.…
