Instant Ice ??? Yeah… I’m Not So Sure…
This video proclaims to demonstrate the production of instant-ice using noting more than common household items. Have a look for yourself.
I‘m guessing that the liquid in the glass is less than pure H2O to begin with. I’m guessing it’s more likely a super saturated solution of sodium acetate than just regular tap water. The tiny amount of salt he puts in would hardly alter the amount already present in tap water. Nor would the addition of salt aid in the expulsion of heat from water. Unlike the exothermic reactions possible with a sssa solution.
Observe… (the straw and salt are for smoke-and-mirrors, distraction effect only)
I‘m not putting that "ice" anywhere near my glass of 12yo single malt scotch
