If you're thinking along the lines of artificial heating or heating pads/hot ice;

Sodium acetate trihydrate crystals melt are melted at around 58 °C, dissolving in their crystallization water. When they are heated to around 100 °C, and subsequently allowed to cool, the aqueous solution becomes supersaturated. This solution is capable of supercooling to room temperature without forming crystals. By clicking on a metal disc in the heating pad or whatever container this solution is contained in, a nucleation center is formed which causes the solution to crystallize into solid sodium acetate trihydrate again. The bond-forming process of crystallization is exothermic, hence strong heat is emitted (which can be very dangerous if exposed to skin and cause second degree burns). Hope that helps. Make sure to recommend. Cheers :)

What happens if you keep hot ice in your fridge for a long time?

There is no such thing as hot ice. The ice is a cold and frozen solid made out of water. Ice happens when water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. But if the ice is hot, it will turn into water. If you touch the top of fridge it most of the time hot or at room temperature, so the water(hot ice as you said it) will remain at the same temperature as the room or hot.

What are ingredients in 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.

Can you make ice cream in a hot room?

Its not the heat or cold that makes the ice cream, its the machine, althought temperature does have its role, and ice cream when being made comes out soft out of the machine and put into a blast then into a freezer!! So yes it can be made in a hot room
