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.

Hot ice, also known as sodium acetate, is commonly used in hand warmers or reusable heat packs. When crystallized, it generates heat as it solidifies, making it a convenient and portable heat source for various applications. Additionally, it can be used in certain chemical reactions or demonstrations in the laboratory.

Hot ice is crystallized sodium acetate trihydrate.

If normal sodium acetate dissolved in water crystallises it will generate heat(it's called an exothermic reaction), that's why it's called hot ice.

So hot ice isn't real ice: water/H2O in it's solid state.

It's crystallized sodium acetate dissolved in water

Molecular formulas:

Sodium Acetate: NaCH3COO

Sodium Acetate trihydrate: NaCH3COO . 3H2O
