Hot Ice also known as Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is a chemical which can be prepared from substances used in everyday cooking.Vinegar and baking soda are the two components that combine together to form the substance known as Sodium acetate.This substance is know as 'Hot Ice' as it somewhat resembles 'water ice' or solidified water and due to the generation of heat when it crystallize.
It is known as Hot ice as it is in a solid state but like no other this type of ice is generates out heat waves.
Sodium Acetate Thihydrate is a white crystalline at room temperature and melts into a liquid form at 324 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of hot ice is 881.4 degrees Celsius and its density is 1.53g/cm3. Sodium acetate trihydrate has a molar mass of 82.0343g/mol
You can super-cool sodium acetate or hot ice in order for it to remain in a liquid state below its melting point. The crystallization can be activated on command, thus forming sculptures as the liquid solution solidifies.This reaction is exothermic hence heat is generated from the hot ice.
Hot Ice has multiple names. There are various ways of saying it.
The IUPAC name for is Sodium Acetate.
The Systematic name for is Sodium Ethanoate
The Other names are Hot ice or Sodium Acetate Trihydrate
The Chemical Formula for Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is C2H3NaO2.
Sodium Acetate abbreviated as NaOAc, also known as Sodium Ethanoate is the sodium salt of acetic acid.
