Hand Warmer

Project

By Brandon, Sawyer, and Tim

Overview
Glove
6g of Lithium Chloride
15g of Calcium Chloride
Water Pouch
100 mL of water.

Reaction
Pop Inner Pouch
Water spills out inside the glove, reaching the
salts
Exothermic Reaction
Salt molecules bonds break
Release of energy (Heat)

Reaction (Continued)
Equation

Energy

H2O+ CaCl2 -> Ca2+ + 2Cl- + H2O

Q=mct
Q=(121g) (4.18J/g)(24.2)

H2O+ LiCl -> Li+ + Cl- + H2O

Q=101.2 J

Factors:
1. Multiple Salts
2. Cost Efficiency
3. Glove Design

Multiple
Salts

LiCl

LiCl - 6g
CaCl2 - 15g

CaCl2

Pro: Fast initial heating

Con: Doesnt last long

Pro: Lasts longer

Con: Slow initial heating

Comfort
Intended for a hand

Glove Design

Heat Distribution
Nitrile lets heat pass with
minimum energy loss

Safety
Meant to protect skin from
chemicals
