Question

Maria and Carla were hiking when Maria tripped, fell, and sprained her ankle. Carla took out the first-aid kit and unwrapped a cold pack. Carla popped a vial that was inside the cold pack. The two chemicals inside the pack mixed together and the pack began to get icy cold. Carla applied the pack to Maria's ankle. What kind of reaction occurred in the cold pack? What evidence supports your answer? HELP

Answer 1

It is an endothermic reaction, the chemicals (probably water and ammonium nitrate) require more energy to react therefore it absorbs heat from it's surrounding to power the reaction and thus lowering the surrounding temperature.

Answer 2

It is a chemical change because heat energy is absorbed and the pack gets colder
