can this be done using normal salt or sugar?

The slower the reaction the larger the crystals in any crystalization process correct? Thx 4 post! :)

@vmelkon if u want help with making sodium acetate message me, i can show u i made some tonight for fun.. and such

[bacon19921124]

@tychomagneticanomaly add some NaHC03 or Sodium BiCarbonate (Baking Soda) and viola Co2(Carbon dioxide) H20(water duh) and NaCHOO- Sodium Acetate is formed FTW! then just super saturate some good distilled water or something and yay!

@hideyyo "the sodium bicarbonate looses it's carbon atoms and attaches to the dilute acetic acid."

???

@tychomagneticanomaly Just to let YOU know, adding baking soda with vinegar, then boiling it, will create a thin layer of sodium acetate as the sodium bicarbonate looses it's carbon atoms and attaches to the dilute acetic acid.

@MrAleper

not.

@Rubberbandman200 you can make it your self with vinegar and baking soda just do a YouTube search on how to make hot ice

[MrAleper]

fake

Create a saturated solution of sodium acetate in hot water. Then allow it to cool. Since a warm solution can hold more solutes than a cold one, the solution will become supersaturated. I done right the sodium acetate will crystalize as shown in the video.
