As soon as this man dips his hand into the jar, ice starts to form.

But the reason he is screaming is not from the cold, but from the heat. Because the mixture he puts his hand in is called hot ice, a substance that can be made easily at home with just vinegar and baking soda. By heating these ingredients, you get a liquid form of sodium acetate, which is left to cool.

Then, when it touches solid sodium acetate, it instantly crystallizes, and if poured slowly, it can even form a hot iceberg. In fact, since this crystallization releases heat, it is also used in hand warmers. #interestingfacts #facts #science #technology #shorts
