Sodium Acetate Trihydrate 100% 1 Lb Bag Hot Ice
Sodium acetate is used in the textile industry to neutralize sulfuric acid waste streams, and as a photoresist while using aniline dyes. It is also a pickling agent in chrome tanning, and it helps to retard vulcanization of chloroprene in synthetic rubber production.As the conjugate base of a weak acid, a solution of sodium acetate and acetic acid can act as a buffer to keep a relatively constant pH. This is useful especially in biochemical applications where reactions are pH dependent.Hot IceSodium acetate trihydrate crystals melt at 54C, to 58C  dissolving in their water of crystallization. When they are heated to around 100C, and subsequently allowed to cool, the aqueous solution becomes supersaturated. This solution is capable of cooling to room temperature without forming crystals. after it has cooled all you have to do is touch it or seed it and it will turn into crystals and get warm, this is hot ice.
