The Homemade hot ice produces some pretty bad hot ice but will still usable. If you have already used up all your sodium acetate powder which had been obtained from the pan you can still initiate the freezing process by using baking soda. This method is not recommended as it can contaminate the solution and many reuses it will eventually stop working. The homemade method works but the reaction rate is slow and even if you did not burn it, its still not clear as store bought vinegar has impurities in it.
NaHCH3= Sodium Bicarbonate ( baking soda)
CH3COOH= Acetic acid ( Vinegar)
When a Sodium bicarbonate solution reacts with an Acetic acid, the result would be a Sodium Acetate.
Chemical reaction
NaHCH3+ CH3COOH = NaCH3COO+H2O+ CO2= C2H3NaCO2+H2O+CO2
C2H3NaO2+H2O+CO2= Chemical Formula for Sodium Acetate
Where as Laboratory grade chemicals give out much cleaner and faster reactive hot ice than what home chemistry can give. Instead of making Sodium acetate trihydrate which is slow, it would be preferable to buy it as it is cheaper for large quantities and gives the best quality Hot ice.
