What type of reaction is occurring when you activate an instant cold pack?
A. Endothermic, because energy is absorbed
B. Exothermic, because energy is released
O C. Endothermic, because energy is released
D. Exothermic, because energy is absorbed


Sagot :

Answer:

Endothermic, because energy is absorbed (A)

Explanation:

The reaction that take place in the instant cold pack causes the surroundings around it, including the bag that contains it. When the bag loses heat to the cold pack, the cold pack absorbs the heat, thereby causing the environment (the bag) to be cold.
