hot ice never looked so cool 😎 learn how to do this experiment below! 👇
🧊What you need:
4 cups of vinegar
4 TBSP baking soda
Medium pot
Liquid measuring cup
Plate
🧊How to make hot ice:
Pour 4 cups of vinegar into a medium pot and slowly add 4 tablespoons of baking soda to create a sodium acetate solution.
When the solution starts to fizz, keep stirring until it stops producing bubbles and all of the baking soda has dissolved.
Boil the solution over medium-low heat until you can see crystals on the side of the pot. Then, pour the concentrated solution into a liquid measuring cup and let it sit in the fridge to cool.
Scrape some of the solid sodium acetate off the bottom of the pot and put it on a plate.
Slowly pour the solution on top of the solid, and watch crystals form!
🧊What’s going on?
When you create, boil down, and cool the solution, you’ve dissolved way more sodium acetate than you could mix into the same amount of cold water. In other words, you’ve made a supercooled...
