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?
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"...
By shooter357 1150696475 Reply Spam [+15] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDude, 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.

By beerad 1157441688 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit 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.
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?

By stu420 1155070024 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAlso 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.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooling
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.
Pretty much just distilled water, right?

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!
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.
And I tend to think this is a clip of gel, for no reason in particular ;).
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.

By bec and yousif 1158513397 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI 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!

(We drink so much of it that very few of the bottles get a chance to freeze solid.)

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
that is sciense

I've seen the same thing done on Discovery channel - using a powder

Ok. This is the deal. What was in bottle before was a solution. And the two substances (or more) that go into a solution have something called a reaction rate. (the rate at which the two products form a new substance) Obviously, we did not have H2O. Maybe water was in it... anywho. You can speed up the rate of a reaction when you agitate the solution (aka shake the bottle), causing an almost instant reaction in this situation. (the few seconds in the video) This reaction would have happened naturally with the two substances together, but shaking it (increasing the collisions of the atoms) made it react quicker. Hope this helped.

this can happed when you have supercooled water.

By tetsuo 1150642106 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt's just fake snow, you add a bit of this fine white crystal powder to water, shake or stir it for a couple of seconds and it turns into a sort of gel which sticks to containers and looks like ice, stir it a bit more and it turns white and goes just like snow.
You can get it on ebay, and I'm sure in plenty of party, prank stores etc.
its a magic trick you can buy you dumbasses... lol
ahahah my mom tried to fool me with this one before she showed the orphans in russia on her missionary trips. i dont know what the stuff is but its a powder substance that you pour into the water and shake it and it becomes a gel.. haha i cant believe some of you people actually thought the water actually FROZE in an instant hahaha retards and it doesnt even have to be preformed with cold water
or, even lower tech, if water's pessurised, ie in a bottle that hasn't been opened, it freezes at a much higher temperature. you chill the bottle to zero, it's liquid, open it and it freezes. makes a lovely slushpuppie with Lilt.
By clive9 1158971633 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIs this what they teach you in public school?There is almost no difference in the temperature water freezes under different air pressures, what you MIGHT be thinking about is BOILING POINT you retards.
The only reason boiling point is effected by pressure is because to boil, water has to fight against air pressure to release bubbles of gas.
FREEZING IS NOT THE OPPOSITE OF BOILING!!
You people keep reminding me why I am not opposed to well-orchistrated genocidal campaigns.

If they say your are, you must punch yourself in the groin. repeat as necessary, then find yourself a picture of a vagina to study up on.

By DarkestRap 1156663519 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI've actually done this with gatoraid. My brother told me he left a gatoraid bottle in the freezer for a few hours. When he took it out and shook it a little it just turned solid instantly. I tried it myself. My timing must not have been the same because when I shook mine it did turn from liquid to almost solid, but still a little bit slushy. I don't know what causes it but it must be to the point where it's about to go solid but if you shake it just befor then.... it might happen.
By gman_gsxr750 1156544711 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat'd likely have something to do with water impurity and the slushyness would be everything that doesn't freeze at that temperature. However that didn't look like any gatoraid I've seen, unless there's clear gatoraid now.
By Zanbatou-sama 1156982622 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYes there is currently clear gatoraid, but the point of my post is that I'm sure you could do this with just about any liquid. As I said, I know it's a matter of timing for general liquids. As for the people who are using actual special chemicals, that I can't comment on.
By gman_gsxr750 1157464145 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI have done this EXACT same thing myself.
Left a bottle of water in my car overnight. Came out in the moring (around -10F), got in the car, started her up, looked the bottle of water and picked it up. I was like WTF, it's WAY below freezeing, this shouldn't still be liquid. I shook it to make sure I wasn't seeing anything and it really was liquid....and in like 2 seconds it turned to ice. FREAKED me out. Then I went home, did some research and learned about super cooling water.
Look kids, this is the COOL part of science, right up there with burning magnisium, and blowing up hydrogen balloons. (god that's a bad pun)
Has no one here heard of supersaturation? You put seed crystals into a substance and heat it up. Then you cool it down and add more than it should and voila it instantly freezes. Chem I at high school teaches you that

By heczy 1151437721 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit IS super cold water. have you ever put a bottle of water in the freezer, to get it cold, then forget about it, to take it out later, its totally liquid. so you open it, its still liquid, then just as you try to drink it, or after one sip, it freezed from the top down and inside out.
this happened to me countless times while deployed to Iraq. try it. freeze several bottles of botled water (dont refill a bottle, buy the good stuff) freeze it. then open it. some may freeze anyway, some will remain a liquid.
now, the bottle was already opened, and half empty. it might have been the same as i described above, then again, it might be the powder. but trust me on this, what i described above DOES happen. and it looks almost EXACTLY like his did.
You belong under water ! Please stay there next time. We will all apreciate it. ! Thanks !
By heczy 1151437913 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWe put 3 water bottles in the freezer every night with the hope of getting them out iced for cold water on the night stand. Once or twice every few months this happens. Take out a bottle and find the bottle completely liquid and as the bottle is shaken or moved I get to watch the crystals form almost instantly. It ends up a little firmer than an icee.

By madmatt 1150356967 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI use this trick in parties. All you need is water, ice and lotsa salt! First put ice water and shitlotsa salt into a coleman. Then just add beer bottles in stir it for 15 min and take out a beer bottle and hammer the bottom of the bottle onto a hard surface,,,,,,and viola.....u have ice beer.
10 to 15 min of stir= 50% ice
30 min or more of stir= 100%ice
If it doesn't work....Put more salt.
You go to very boring party's if you can't figure out anything more fun to do than chemistry
By Niek 1150625513 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe water has a gas dissolved in it, you can supercool the liquid with a solvent, in this case, dissolved gas, in it. when the top was removed, the gas came out of solution and left he water to freeze. kinda cool, put a calistoga water in the freezer for the right amount of time and it does it...
By eltoddo 1150173960 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis is a magic trick that I knew of when I was like 6 years old.. its called SLUSH POWDER, SEARCH FOR IT ON GOOGLE... I can't believe that all of you are making these moronic claims about freezing. YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS.
By xenophilist 1159272735 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeto all arguers below:
it might be gel it might be ice we'll never know, but both are possible
bye bye
if you cool the water slowly without shaking it, to about
minus 10 degres celsius (14 Farenheit) the water will not freeze, than when you shake it, it will freeze instantly. this is basic thermodinamics guys ;)
It clearly did not freeze instantly. People please watch the video before you comment!
