The method of heating ice with sodium acetate trihydrate
Those who want to heat ice with sodium acetate trihydrate should follow the following method.

The first thing to prepare is sodium acetate trihydrate, an appropriate amount of water, a clean container, and a heating utensil. Take an appropriate amount of water, pour it into a clean container, and then slowly add sodium acetate trihydrate, stirring while adding, until the solution reaches a saturated state. This process must be done patiently to ensure that the sodium acetate is fully dissolved.

When you have a saturated solution, place the container on a heating appliance and slowly heat it over low heat to heat the solution evenly. When heating, you need to continue stirring to help it dissolve more fully, and do not let the solution overheat and splash out.

When sodium acetate trihydrate is completely dissolved and the solution is clear and transparent, remove the heater and allow the solution to cool naturally. This process must keep the solution calm and do not disturb.

When the solution is cooled to near room temperature, take a small grain of sodium acetate trihydrate crystal and put it into the solution. In an instant, it can be seen that the solution is like freezing, crystallizing quickly, and this crystallization process is accompanied by a feeling of warmth, which is called hot ice. Because the supersaturated solution of sodium acetate trihydrate is unstable, crystallization is triggered when it encounters crystal seeds, and the crystallization process releases heat, so there is a strange appearance of hot ice.

The method of heating ice, although not complicated, requires caution in all steps to achieve this wondrous scene.
