Experiments in the field of physical and chemical reactions are fascinating and educational, and it is not surprising that many people dream of feeling like scientists and researchers, performing simple experiments at home. In this article, we'll show you how to create hot ice from scrap materials. In other words, you will learn how to create a liquid that instantly crystallizes from touching its surface. To make hot ice you need sodium acetate, and to make it you need the vinegar and soda found in every home.
Instructions
Step 1
Take baking soda and vinegar essence and combine them until the solution stops sizzling. Put a saucepan with the solution on a low heat and gently evaporate the liquid.
Step 2
After that, put the saucepan to cool. Cool the mixture completely in the refrigerator - while in the refrigerator, the liquid will harden and acquire an ice structure.
Step 3
If you find non-freezing liquid on the surface of the frozen composition, drain it. There is solidified sodium crystalline hydrate in your container. To turn it into hot ice, just take a saucepan and melt the hardened piece to a liquid state.
Step 4
Take a separate container and pour the hot melted liquid from the saucepan into it, filtering it out of sediment and debris. Cover the clarified liquid with a lid or napkin, and then leave to cool at room temperature.
Step 5
In the cooled liquid for the experiment, throw a grain of sodium acetate left over from evaporation and drainage of the pure liquid, and you will see how the composition crystallizes before your eyes, turning into ice.
Step 6
At any time, you can re-melt the solidified mixture to reuse it in your experiments. Hot ice can be used many times, and making it, as you have already seen, is not at all difficult.
