fast freezing water

A bottle of water immediately freezing after shaking it. Seems to have something to do with the anomaly of water. According to some people very rare phenomenon.
Box was in car over night at low temperatures. Some of the bottles had been frozen some not;

It's a trick! I made a special effect on Harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban using the same stuff! It's called sodium acetate! You find it in those hand warmers!

it's no trick; Anyway it could maybe done like that, - but the fluid in those handwarmers is not that solvent as this water!

@josefvichtl A saturated solution of pure sodium acetate is water clear. Maybe not in the hand warmers... they may put additives in.

Anyway... maybe this is an example of water freezing... but I could replicate it accurately using sodium acetate.

@Bedeekin This was just plain water, - maybe of course some minerals. I left the box with the bottles in the car over neight @-10°C. This happend in the morning as a wanted to get the box...

Wait, so how does the ice not expand and break the bottle?

[josefvichtl]

that's a good question! to be sure: I really don't know. Forgotten beer bottles in the deep freezer mostly break...

The water was supercooled, and the molecules didn't have enough time to form ice crystals because it was cooled so rapidly. Shaking it would allow the crystals to form, thus freezing the water instantly.

Plastic expands smart one... Go get a plastic bottle and fill it with pure water (distilled) and put it in your garage when temps are generally a little or much lower than 32 F and do not disturb the bottle for a day or 2 and when you go and shake that bottle watch what happens....

This is actually true! It was even on a T.V show! :D I did it, and it worked :3

....its sodium accelerate...

[Bedeekin]

@josefvichtl I stand corrected...

[Loco97Loco]

how to drink if its ice??

[MyStaTuStuDioS]

Bc u can keep purified water liquid below it's freeezig point. Until you touch t or shake it then it turns to ice

[MyStaTuStuDioS]

Is it purified water
