Prepare the Sodium Acetate 1 Year, 10 Months ago Karma: 1  
Sodium acetate is an amazing chemical you can prepare yourself from baking soda and vinegar. You can cool a solution of sodium acetate below its melting point and then cause the liquid to crystallize. The crystallization is an exothermic process, so the resulting ice is hot. Solidification occurs so quickly you can form sculptures as you pour the hot ice.
First , In a saucepan or large beaker, add baking soda to the vinegar, a little at a time and stirring between additions. The baking soda and vinegar react to form sodium acetate and carbon dioxide gas. Then boil the solution to concentrate the sodium acetate. Thirdly Once you remove the sodium acetate solution from heat, immediately cover it to prevent any further evaporation. And at last ,U can Place the covered container of sodium acetate solution in the refrigerator to chill.
Then ,even though sodium acetate is a safe chemical for use in demonstrations. It is used as a food additive to enhance flavor and is the active chemical in many hot packs. The heat generated by the crystallization of a refrigerated sodium acetate solution should not present a burn hazard.
