Step 6- Stir the aqueous solution till all the solid compounds are completely dissolved.
Step 7- Begin to cool the beaker in an ice bath or you can keep the beaker in the refrigerator.
When the solution has finished cooling it becomes 'super-cooled' which means that it went below its temperature of freezing without actually solidifying.
Step 8- Now add a pinch of sodium acetate trihydrate crystals (which you had obtained from the pan earlier) onto the solution.
At first begin with just a pinch then 2 and if there still isn't any effect taking place then you will have to add a larger amount of the crystals into the aqueous
solution.
Step 9- Now that you have added the sodium acetate crystals into the super-cooled solution of sodium acetate you will notice the solution solidifying.
This is as a chain of reaction is set off when the crystals came in contact with the liquid.
Step 10- The crystals are releasing energy when the reaction is taking place thus the solidified solution will radiate heatof an estimate of 130 degrees Celsius or 54 degrees Fahrenheit.
There will be a problem with the solution if the reaction doesn't occur. You could try once again but a better solution would be to do the experiment with Store bought Sodium Acetate.
