The BIZARRE Chemistry of Hot Ice

In this video, I talk about the chemistry behind the classic Hot Ice demonstration. I talk about the supersaturation of sodium acetate and how the formation of a crystal lattice can produce an exothermic reaction.

Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!

Great lighting. Great use of graphics. Well done on the script, flows well and is intuitive. Keep up the great content.

[TheCreativeNest]

This is by far the best Hot Ice video on YouTube. You do a great job at explaining what is happening, and not just demonstrating visually like most other creators. Well done!

[Subremix]

Every time I start to watch a video I remember how much I like this channel and how he explains everything. It is so nice to listen to! Keep it up!

watched a million of videos of hot ice and this is the only one that could answer all my questions. thanks man

[eenwieleraar]

Sometimes I wish you where my science teacher when I was younger. You explain everything so clearly in a short time. And I really enjoy watching these videos.

[aspiringcloudexpert]

Cool experiment, and you did a really good job of explaining the science behind it in a clear, digestible manner.

[Mickologist]

Very enjoy having the end product at the beginning, and then the explanation after, resulting with viewing the end product again!

[debsbuckalew]

Great video! I like that you gave a clear explanation of the science but didn't make it overly complicated. I've watched a bunch of videos about hot ice and they either confused the heck out of me or didn't give any reason as to WHY it happens. Thank you!

[TheArdeam]

Great quality content. You explain everything so well and it is very pleasant to watch.

[theatomyoulike]

Excellent demonstration and explanation. It's very relaxing to watch your videos.

[anxplodinturtle]

Great video bro! I LOVE the Hot Ice demo

[ThatOrangeCamaro]

Why does this video only have 7K views and the channel is under 20K subs!?! Super informative and amazing video to watch. Stayed interested the whole time. Keep up the great

[christenzis]

I would love to see you elaborate on how this could be used to cook food.

[dimipage]

Great video. Concise and straight to the point. Wish you all the best!

[jonathannadeau]

Excellent explanation. I’m an uneducated man to whom this has been explained more than once by much less talented teachers than you. I finally understand. Thank you.

Do they not still move very fast but now in a cristal?
And the heat is the increase in bouncing between the molecules.

This was really helpful and informative

I learned more in these five minutes than I did in any of my college chemistry lectures
Edit: spelling

Glad the beaker didn't shatter due to thermal shock. Pyrex glass? Also, 3D printer that uses sodium acetate when?
