These TOP 20 HOT ICE Experiments will BLOW your mind! Touch this LIQUID — and it FREEZES INSTANTLY! How is that possible? Experiments with HOT ICE. Here is the link to the video with all experiments in real time: https://youtu.be/5mfv1lFiKEM Hot ice looks like magic — a clear liquid that instantly turns into solid crystals and heats up to about 60°C (≈140°F) during the process. In this video, I show what this amazing substance really is and how you can make it yourself at home. Hot ice is actually sodium acetate, a chemical compound that can be prepared from baking soda and acetic acid. I demonstrate the full process step by step: from the chemical reaction and filtration to concentrating the solution and creating a supercooled liquid that crystallizes instantly when triggered. I also show a cleaner method using store-bought sodium acetate trihydrate (CH₃COONa·3H₂O) and explain how it differs from anhydrous sodium acetate. You’ll learn the important details that make the experiment work: the correct ratios, how to evaporate excess water, why the container must be sealed before cooling, and how even a tiny dust particle can start crystallization. Then the fun begins — a series of experiments showing the incredible properties of hot ice: • Pine twig crystallization • Chili pepper experiment • Cactus dipped in hot ice • Crystal growing on a needle • Crystal iceberg formation • Blowing bubbles through the solution • Growing an icicle by pouring a thin stream • Hot ice solidifying in a dish • Coin crystallization experiment • Large-container crystal growth • Lettuce leaf experiment • Chemical hand warmer demonstration • DIY giant sodium acetate hand warmer • Bottle hand warmer experiment • Hand dipped into hot ice You’ll also see how chemical hand warmers work, why the crystallization releases heat, and how to adjust the concentration so the reaction becomes safe enough to touch. Important tips and common mistakes are explained so you can successfully recreate the hot-ice reaction yourself. This liquid FREEZES INSTANTLY when you touch it!
