Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When ionic substances are dissolved in water, which is referred to as 'heat of solution', heat can be released or absorbed. An instant cold pack, for instance, is made of endothermically dissolving ammonium nitrate in water. A hot pack is produced from exothermically dissolved calcium chloride in water.
