When the chemical ammonium nitrate is dissolved in water, the resulting solution is colder than either of the starting materials. This is how most commercial cold packs work. At the end of this reaction you are left with ammonium and nitrate.

A) Is this an example of an endothermic or an exothermic reaction?

B) What are the PRODUCTS of this reaction?
