Speaker one Have you ever had a bump or a sprain and needed a cold compress? Speaker two Yes, all the time. Now, some cold packs use a chemical reaction to absorb heat. This is an example of something ...

Iron oxide, aluminum, and a catalyst are placed in a flowerpot. The reaction is extremely exothermic resulting in molten iron and aluminum dripping into sand below the flowerpot. The demonstration ...
