You have to boil and heat water and add sodium acetate (a powder easy to find online), and mix it until it is fully dissolved. Then pour the water in a glass and put the glass in the fridge. After 2 hours, the liquid is ready. You pour the liquid into and kind of place, or leave it in the glass. Then, you put a tiny little part in your finger of sodium acetate, and touch the liquid. It will then turn into dry ice.
Dry ice is not formed in this instance.Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. The phenomenon involving sodium acetate is colloquially called hot ice. Simply adding sodium acetate to water will not produce this. You need to create a supersaturated solution. You add sodium acetate to water untill it cannot dissolve any more, and then cool the solution. Now you have an unstable solution that has more dissolved sodium acetate than it could normally hold. If it is disturbed, the sodium acetate will sponaneously crystallize.
To make hot ice, you would need materials such as sodium acetate (often available as a powder or crystals), distilled water, a heat source, a glass container for mixing, and a stirring rod. Optional materials include a thermometer, a hot plate or microwave for heating the solution, and an ice bath for cooling and solidifying the hot ice.
Hot ice is primarily made using sodium acetate trihydrate, which is a crystalline powder that can be heated and then cooled to form a solid with the appearance of ice. The only other ingredient typically added is water.
A control variable for making hot ice could be the amount of sodium acetate solution used, as keeping this constant will ensure that the only variable affecting the outcome is the temperature of the solution.
One creative way to make refreshing summer treats using dry ice is to create dry ice popsicles. To do this, mix your favorite fruit juice or soda with chunks of dry ice in a mold. The carbonation from the dry ice will create a fizzy and refreshing popsicle. Another idea is to make a dry ice ice cream by mixing cream, sugar, and flavorings with dry ice in a bowl. The dry ice will freeze the mixture quickly, creating a creamy and smooth ice cream. Just be sure to handle dry ice carefully and follow safety precautions when using it in food preparation.

you put it in the freezer
http://www.instructables.com/id/Sodium-Acetate/ (but the soduim acetate will not be pure enough to make hot ice, ive tried it) go here for a good guide on how to make it
Yes. You can boil a mixture of sodium acetate in water and subsequently cool it. If you cause it to precipitate, it will feel hot.
Hot Ice, Sodium Acetate, is made from vinegar and baking soda.

Firstly, when sodium acetate (CH3COONa) solidifies, it does not form "ice". It just becomes solid. This happens when the sodium acetate is heated to about 100oC, then cooled below its freezing point. When a foreign substance with the same crystal structure as sodium acetate is introduced, or a nucleation centre is provided, the sodium acetate will warm up to its freezing point and freeze at its (supposed to be) freezing point.
Instant hot ice is a simple name for the chemical Sodium acetate. It can react with other chemicals to give out a lot of heat in a short time. Its heating property makes it ideal for making heat packs.
You will have some dry water sodium. Salty dry ice.
Ice is simply water in solid form. Hot ice is the result of the crystallization of sodium acetate from a supersaturated solution.
Keep adding until no more of it will dissolve.
