Do you mean how long the hot ice effect lasts?

anonymous · Answer

I want to do a sodium acetate "hot ice thing" like people do on YouTube and I just want to know how long it last cause I want to bring it to school

thomaster · Answer

The sodium acetate will crystallize when the exothermic reaction occurs and those crystals will stay crystalls for ever unless you add water or heat them.

anonymous · Answer

So if I never add heat or add water it will never melt right

thomaster · Answer

so if you're making a sculpture or something it won't melt on the way to school :P
