Supersaturated Sodium Acetate (Slow Crystalization)

A single seed crystal was added to the saturated sodium Acetate solution while at 30C. Omnidirectional needle-like crystals radiated outward from the seed on contact at the solution's surface.

@ozzychvz they would be solidified into it, also it would go a lot faster, i had to tweek this reaction to slow it down and make crystals like that, the normal reaction is much faster, and does not have such nicely defined crystals. also, the crystalization is exothermic, so your buddy that you stick in the bathtub will likely be cooked to death as he is locked inside the crystal...ha ha ha

@hi743roblox I guess you'd have to use a hammer ;-)

@michaelfreudiger I think u just gave some people pretty bad ideas

@michaelfreudiger Hey, i need to know, Im doing this "Hot Ice" for my science fair, and i need a variable, so why not amounts (ML's) of water? I need one amount of ML of water that wont work, and 3 others that crystallize fast, Slow, and one that only crystalizes into a Slush. Thanks! Please respond!!

@ozzychvz they would have 3rd degree burns and alkaline poisoning

Now how the hell are you going to get it out of there?
