Bottle of water freezes instantly

[CoyoteBoyUK]

This is simply supercooling. Looks spectacular, pretty standard high school physics though :)

[SilenceOfTheChicken]

I thought this was supercooling. The bottle was left outside in the below-zero temperatures. This cooled the liquid, but as it was at rest it did not change state. In opening the bottle, he agitated the molecules causing a chain reaction, resulting in the change of state. This is supercooling, but liquids can also be superheated. e.g. people warm cups of coffee in microwaves, increasing the temp. past boiling point, but as the coffee is at rest it doesn't become a gas. Upon movement, it explodes

i was happy listneing to rock and roll howd i get here -_- ?

[juki0h]

this just happened to me just now, i opened a bottle of water from my freezer to make it cold, it was a liquid state, then i shooked it by accident and all of a sudden it froze, i was like wtf! NO!! now i have to wait until it melts a little bit

[Dragonelis]

That's sodium acetate, yes?

[fyrdawg589]

that is stupid cold

[noura20]

it just happened to me this morning. This happens when the temperature outside is not called enough to freeze the closed bottle as the there is no place for the the pressure to go. so as soon as you open the bottle the pressure is suddenly equal to the atmospheric one and it's called enough to be in ice state. However, if it is really cold, your bottle will just burst and the water will freeze even under pressure!

[XxCeltics34xX]

so if you stick your finger in it fast enough, will your finger freeze in there?

I'm gay and I love acid.

[chrisfentress13]

i seen it on mythbusters

[SergeantPope]

Hmm, if this is true, that's pretty crazy. I want to see it on Mythbusters to see if it's true =)

[chrisfentress13]

@SergeantPope i seen it on mythbusters, its true

[SergeantPope]

@chrisfentress13 Yah, i asked a Science person and they explained it to me. Pretty cool stuff...

[pkwales]

@SergeantPope it is true watched the episode :) its called supercolling

[fullmetalfan19]

My father showed me something once... his work fridge is more like a freezer, just for drinks. He opened a water bottle and as soon as he took the cap off it froze instantly.. just like this, except in Florida. XD

Also, he once took a bottle from it and just hit it and it turned completely into half-frozen ice... o.O

[fhadj]

"That is SWEET!"

[meandmyevo]

is that distilled water? if so, it doesn't freeze inside the bottle, because theres no place for ice crystals to start forming, after the cap is removed, a small dust particle or even a small inconsistency in surface temperature allows the initial formation of ice crystals, and since the rest of the water is already sub-zero, it freezes instantly.

[Richinator2000]

I think it was probably sitting out there for a while beforehand and opening the bottle released the carbonation, which allowed the water to instantly freeze

[jimmy13801]

what temperature is it?

[bj616]

That is insane. How cold is out to freeze water that quick?

[rednisson350z]

look it up on youtube. You put an on opened bottle or somthing in the freezer for a while and once it gets oxygen itll freeze (by opening or banging it). I cant remember the whole sequence.

[bj616]

Wow, that is cool!

[eagles3761]

thats an easy trick type in on youtube how to freeze a water in 1 second

[acernegundo]

The solubility of a solute in a solution is directly related to the temperature of the solvent. Example: at room temperature, there is a maximum amount of salt molecules that can be dissolved in a given mass of water. You boil the water, the maximum rises. You add salt to reach the new maximum, then cool the water back down. It is now a supersaturated solution. The addition of a single salt crystal will cause the supersaturated salt in the water to come out of solution and recrystallize. Tadaaa!

[bashbros326]

@acernegundo you sir are a genius

[shanna1950]

unbelievabvle

[teledrums]

the water is purified and super-cooled. With nothing for the water molecules to bond to they can't turn into ice. When you add something like salt or sand then the molecules have something to bond to and instantly turn into ice

[leetmad]

That's not true at all. Salt molecules replace water molecules during a drastically lowered temperature. Salt water doesn't freeze. And it was faucet water, it wasn't purified.

[dawnpg]

that is really amazing wow

even though it is easy to do that trick it gets meii every time.

[DickJohnson3434]

Absolutely fantastic video.

[moominking13]

that happened to me in egypt, its not to do with the outside temperature, its to do with pressure change and the transition between temperatures.

[aubietiger07]

Because it is "freezing" outside - lol

[macmad1984]

cool how is this done???

[TheTurboJohn16]

refer to teledrums comment. it's easy to do

[Dawvve]

COOOL
