A warm, saturated sodium acetate solution is allowed to cool. At the lower temperature the solution is supersaturated, meaning that more of a salt is dissolved in the water than would normally be possible. I the solution is disturbed the sodium acetate crystallizes instantly.
A solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution; all the time that more of the solute can be dissolved it is unsaturated, but once the solution can hold no more of the solute it has become saturated.
Mercury helide (not halide). Extremely unstable synthetic compound that rapidly and readily releases its helium.
The dependent variable is the rate of salt dissolution in the solution.
Honey is a supersaturated solution, meaning it contains more dissolved solute (sugar) than a saturated solution at that temperature. When honey is added to hot water, the higher temperature causes the molecules to move faster, increasing the speed of the dissolution process. In cold water, the slower molecular movement makes it harder for the sugar molecules in honey to break apart and dissolve.
One example of a solution that is very unstable is a supersaturated solution, where the solute is present at a concentration higher than its equilibrium solubility. Any disturbance, such as adding a crystal of the solute or shaking the solution, can cause the excess solute to rapidly crystallize out of solution. Another example is a metastable solution, which is on the verge of precipitating out the solute, especially under slight changes in temperature or pressure.
Supersaturated = Being more concentrated than normally possible and therefore not in equilibrium.
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.

Most often, by preparing a saturated solution of a substance in a solvent in which the solubility of the substance increases with temperature, then lowering the temperature while taking care to avoid agitation of or the intrusion of solids into the solution.

When unstable air is forced to rise, it continues to rise rapidly due to its buoyancy. As it rises, it expands, cools, and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds, precipitation, and potentially severe weather such as thunderstorms. This process is known as convection.
Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly into the atmosphere, creating strong updrafts. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, forming cumulonimbus clouds. If the atmosphere is unstable and moist enough, these conditions can lead to the development of thunderstorms with lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail.
