Sodium Acetate - Warm to the Touch Crystallization of supersaturated sodium acetate in Christmas hand warmer: (a) t = 0 s; (b) t = 10 s; (c) t = 90 s
Thermodynamics & Supersaturation are Key Crystallization of supersaturated sodium acetate in Christmas hand warmer: (a) t = 0 s; (b) t = 10 s; (c) t = 90 s Solubility of sodium acetate - 408 g/L Melting point of sodium acetate - 58 °C (safety) Crystallization results on a decrease in entropy (ΔS° negative) Energy is released in the form of heat (ΔH° highly negative) ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS° What about nucleation?
