video Make Hot Ice - The Complete Guide
The complete guide to making hot ice and sodium acetate. How to create it, fix it, and use it. All methods from baking soda and vinegar to laboratory synthesis are shown.
The basis for hot ice is sodium acetate trihydrate, which is heated above its melting point and then cooled below its melting point so it's supercooled. It's still liquid and quickly solidifies when a seed crystal is introduced.
Sodium acetate trihydrate can be bought, or made at home by mixing three tablespoons of baking soda with one liter of vinegar and boiling down.
The video shows a detailed step by step instruction on how to do this as well as how to fix problems you might have.

freeze your vinagar, almost before use,
vinegar i beleive has a high melting tempurature, and will form crystals well before the water freezes.
simply put into the freezer until the tempurature drops below 16 degrees celcius, then scoop out the crystals , but include a small amount of water.
this will be about 70-90% vinegar, and will yeild just as much sodium acetate, but will require less boiling, and shorten the time you risk burning the vinagar.
you can still distill the vinegar if you want, but i think its too much of a hassle compared to just gently boiling it.
i divided the ingredients by 3 so its 1/3 liter 5% Vinegar(Distilled white) and 1 tbsp of baking soda and added baking soda untill it dtopped reacting, and made sure it was clear. thne i started to boil and waited an hour to see the film, but i get nothing. i need great help because this is a very simple chemical to create, and i can make copper carbonate, nickel carbonate, copper acetate, nickel acetate, copper sulphate, and some solution with polyacrylamide
I never say to keep adding until it stops reacting.
i found this solution great for filtering copper acetate used to make copper carbonate by freezing the liquid from the copper carbonate and filtering the sodium bicarbonate out of the bottmom of the test tube
Did I also hear correctly? You can mix the solution and then set it out to evaporate, and it will for crystals?
Thanks!
Next time try that before running the risk of cutting yourself with the knife.
Can the proportion of vinegar to baking soda change the hardness of the crystals?
Actually, they do use Sodium Acetate in Salt and Vinegar flavoured chips. Ive tasted some of the stuff i made a couple of years ago and it definately is associated with salt n vinegar chips.
NurdRage, ive tried to download all of your clips on Youtube but it wont let me- do you know why i cant dl your clips?
No one should be eating pure table salt.
So likewise, i say don't eat this stuff, it's not toxic, but it makes about as much sense as eating pure table salt.
Most people ask about the edible thing because they intend to actually put large ice-cube sized hunks of it into drinks... not a good idea.
As for the youtube clips. I think it's because downloading them would be a form of piracy and violates the youtube terms of service. So youtube prevents that. I'm inclined to agree on some level since an offline video means i don't get any ad revenue from it.
Maybe in the future i'll sell DVDs of these experiments.
Yeah, Salt "N" Vinegar chips are about as edible as salt too!!!
As far as download ing clips from Youtube, theres actually a link inbuilt to the webpage that allows you to download the clip it's just that your clips don't want to download properly...
Not to worry i figured out how to download them with Firefox plugin.
Ive downloaded vids before. No piracy involved. But Puh-Lease MAKE THOSE DVD's I WILL BUY THEM. You may run into the hassle of liabilities like the ones in steal this book and Anarchists cookbook.
Words people will think and potentially sue for.
Nurd Rage showed me how to make a bomb!
I blew my hands off making strontium nitrate!
I went to the hospital for inhaling sulfur dioxide!
I know, everyone wants to make a dollar and teach the dumb-arse people of america in the process. But lawsuits sadly get in the way.
