I don't know if this is real or fake but the water in this bottle turns to ice in a matter of seconds. What does everyone think? Is this real or fake?

Water Instantly Freezes
- OMG!!! You are all wrong
It's called (((Potasium Nitrate)))...you know the stuff that makes an instant cold pack cold. When mixed with water at a overly high rate and agitate it it will freeze water..."Sodium Polyacrylate" doesn't become a solid until all of the moister is removed...which takes time or heat and slightly less time and then it reduces mass by the amount of water removed. Ie; onw teaspoon will absorb approx. 32 oz. water and have the consistancy of extreamly firm Jello. Thats why it's called "Water Gel"...

- re: OMG!!!
Dude, go back to chemistry class. Instant cold packs are Ammonium Hydroxide. Sodium Polyacrylate is the "instant snow" powder (cool stuff) and is still a solid when it has water added to it. There's a good chance this is a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate. That stuff will remain a liquid until a seed crystal is added or it has some kind of mechanical disturbance ie. shaking it in a bottle. The speed at which this stuff turns solid doesn't happen it too many other things than that. If you want to look up a video of it happening, look up instant heat packs that are made with the SSat Soln of Sodium acetate. You start those by clicking a metal disc that provides the same effect as shaking that bottle.

it can absorb 200 to 300 times its weight in tap water (even more if the water is distilled) and hold it in a gooey gel.

It's just water that's been in the kids garage overnight (obviously somewhere cold eh?) Nothing added to it, just plain old water.

Apparently none of the 200 people who've commented on this have ever seen this phenomenon (frozen water.. who knew?) It'll happen to beer as well, you just can't see it in action like you can with a clear water bottle.
A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. However, lacking any such nucleus, the liquid phase can be maintained all the way down to the temperature at which crystal homogeneous nucleation occurs. The homogeneous nucleation can occur above the glass transition where the system is an amorphous  that is, non - crystalline  solid.
Water has a freezing point of 273 K (0°C or 32°F) but can be supercooled at ambient pressure down to its crystal homogeneous nucleation at almost 231 K (−42°C).1 If cooled at a rate of the order of 1 million K per second, the crystal nucleation can be avoided and water becomes a glass. Its glass transition temperature is much colder and harder to determine, but studies estimate it at about 165 K (−108°C).2 Glassy water can be heated up to approximately 150 K (−123°C).3 In the range of temperatures between 231 K (−42°C) and 150 K (−123°C) experiments find only crystal ice.2414301 - 1
- How about a closed bottle
I recently changed the temperature of one of fridges at work. After I did that when you pulled out a closed bottle of water it froze right before your eyes without shaking it vigerously. Is that normal or should I avoid drinking the water?

Also known as slush powder, this powder instantly turns a liquid into a solid. Sodium polyacrylate absorbs from 800 to 1000 times its weight in water and is actually the secret ingredient that's used to absorb "liquid" in baby diapers.
The a-hole filtering people is probably trying to sell this secret snow crap on eBay.

This video was swiped from f0rked.com. The effect you're seeing is called supercooling.
As the wikipedia article mentions:
"A liquid below its melting point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. However, lacking any such nucleus, the liquid phase can be maintained all the way down to the temperature at which crystal homogeneous nucleation occurs."
As this water having gone through some type of filter process (possibly reverse osmosis), it would have made it exceptionally pure and lacking these "seed nuclei"
Take a look at the other videos at http://f0rked.com/articles/supercooling
That type of behavious is not possible with the substance you're talking about.1973440 - 1

By Shady joe 1154741614 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewho can't even believe when someone tells them the truth....
There is no trick. this happens to my water bottles all the time. It blew my mind the first time it happened, but when i get in my car inthe morning and a bottle has sat and literally has frozen WITHOUT freezing to a solid. It remains liquid even at the seriously below freezing temp... Then as soon as I touch the bottle and create just a little bit of motion ' the water begins to freeze INSTANTLY' and you can watch it happen right before your eyes in a matter of 2-3 seconds, the water becomes solid :) It has only happened with unopened (new) bottles for me here and I assumed it had to do with the pressure inside the bottle from traveling to this altitude (9,600 ft) Everything has MORE presure IN it when it gets up here!

- Interesting, but not wrong
Thats quite cool. Sounds like you're watching a supercooled solution nucleate and solidify. The pressure of the new bottle may play a role also, but I think it's the purity of the unopened bottles allowing for the supercooling to occur. As someone else mentioned it takes a foreign particle or agitation to nucleate a phase change. I've seen this happy with water in a crystal glass in the microwave - barely touching the heated glass was enough to cause most of the water to vaporize pretty violently.

When I got to grab a nice bottle of water out of the fridge here in Iraq it tends to do that frequently. Concidering I've been stationed here for over a year i feel pretty safe that the unopened bottels of water don't contain concentraited amounts of Potasium Nitrate. But I'm just a grunt so what do I know.

Water can be supercooled down to about -40 degrees. Some antarctic fish live in a supercooled condition. You catch them on a lline through an ice hole, pull them out flopping and then they freeze the instant you lay them down on the ice. Pretty cool!

stick a bottle of water in the freezer, and wait a few hours, its still liquid, but its still very very cold in your hand, now shake the bottle or open the cap and pour it out or something (fun). it freezes when its disturbed like that, also works with other drinks in bottles, i know first hand when i am at work, we have bottled water and gatorade we stick in the freezer, and the gatorade when disturbed, turns to slushy from a perfect liquid, you see slush slowly moving accross the bottle its cool, but the bottled water instantly freezes to a clear ice when disturbed, with liquid in the center of the bottle.

Go to google. Type in "Slush Powder magic" find a magic store with a good price. Buy the slush powder and when it arrives mix it with water. This is a VERY COMMON magic trick using a silica gel. THIS IS NOT TEMPERATURE DEPENDANT, the idiots posting here who try to explain this by temperature are only attempting to make you the sheeple look like fools. Go buy some slush powder and amse the kids (dont eat it though or you;ll dry up like an egyptian mummy.

The bottle is pressurized which lowers the freezing point of water. he then unscrews the cap to lower the pressure and o my god it freezes.

I had this happen as I'm drinking the water it solidifies in the back of my throat. It actually doesn't turn into an actual solid, more of a mush really, it's easy to try this just leave a sealed bottle of water in the freezer for a few hours, you have to get the timing just right thuogh, and when you take it out of the freezer it will start to solidify starting at the top then slowly towards the bottom, or sometime after you take the cap off. But it IS just ordinary water (actually my water is like triple or quadruple filtered using 2 or 3 different systems, so I'm not sure how impurities would affect the process, but they will probably hinder it). IT IS NOT POTASIUM NITATE, OR ANY OTHER CHEMICAL JUST WATER!

I am currently deployed to LSA Anaconda, Iraq. Because of the heat we keep most of our water bottles in freezer chests. (We drink so much of it that very few of the bottles get a chance to freeze solid.) It's become sort of a game to us to try to find the bottles that will turn to slush when we thump the bottom on something hard.

its called slush powder. i have some of it in my hand right now. you can buy it at any magic/trick shop. you use it in the good ol' vanishing water trick. put a small amount of it in the bottom of a styrofoam cup and ask someone in the croud if you could borrow their drink. pore some in the cup and then splash them in the face with it (or attemp to) it becomes a thick slush, allmost like a grainy jello.

Notice how he didnt show the top of the water bottle when he was mixing up the water. That was because he was grasping the sides of the water bottle against the ice chunk (which was above the water, out of our view).

It doesnt freeze. It is reduced to a gel, look closley as the bottle is turned towards the camera you can see the air bubbles, private engineers have been working on a gel agent that will absorb a enormous amout of moisture from the surrounding area 1 teaspoon per gallonish of water instant gel.

If you supercool water, just slightly below freezing but in a place without vibration of any kind, it will not harden until you tap it or agitate it. Then it will crystalize very quickly.
By nothanks 1156976488 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
Water's volume increases when it is being frozen. If you keep volume fixed it can not freeze at all. At this video the cap of the bottle is not seen while it is still liquid. I think he removes cap secretly after shaking. So shaking have no connection the freezing.

evrybody can do this with water. i did it too many times.
how to do it?
put a water somewhere in cold place, where is temperature 0 degrees of Celsius. you must handle with this water VERY CAREFULLY, then slowly, realy slowly put it somewhere in frost. VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!
then after couple of hours, took this bottle - you can see, that wather didnt freeze. and then shake with bottle and water will change into ice in few seconds...
one very important condition - the water must be DISTILLED!!!!!!!!

Buy a bottle of water, open it, squeeze out the excess air, reclose it, place it back in the freezer for a bit, when the water is right at freezing temp, open the bottle and you'll see the water crystalize from top down.
I think it has to do with pressure lowering the freezing point or something like that. Can't remember
