When an impurity (e.g. an ice crystal) is added to this supercooled pure water, it speeds up the crystallization process even more. The water instantly freezes solid with no slush in it anywhere. This is called “snap freezing.”
StepsPart
- Question Why does it freeze so quickly?
Landon Scott Community Answer It’s a chain reaction. Only one water particle has to be cold enough. So when you pound it, the particles collide and the energy releases to the rest of the water. - Question What type of rock salt do you use? Landon Scott Community Answer Sodium chloride and potassium chloride both work. Sodium chloride is just common table salt.
- Question Can you use a freezer to make instant ice? Landon Scott Community Answer No, it requires the bottle to be surrounded by water and ice. You might possibly be able to get it to work just in a freezer, but it’s very unlikely to work.

- Getting your water bottles to freeze instantly might take a few tries. If your water bottles dont freeze instantly, try adding more salt to your ice water mixture, or cool the water bottles in the mixture for a longer period. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0

- Never use glass bottles when freezing bottled water. Glass can cool too quickly and cause the water to freeze in the ice bath. If the water freezes at this stage, the bottle can burst. Thanks Helpful 5 Not Helpful 1

How To INSTANTLY Freeze Water On Impact!
FAQ
Can you freeze water instantly?
Can ice freeze in 30 minutes?
What is the sudden freezing of water?
How long does it take to freeze water?
Generally, water can freeze in about 15 to 20 minutes in a standard ice cube tray with 12 wells, but this can vary depending on these factors. The most common way to freeze water quickly in your freezer is to use an ice cube tray. This is a plastic or metal tray that has several wells or compartments that can hold water and form ice cubes.
Is it safe to drink water that has been stored for a long time?
Water that has been in an open glass for long periods of time can lead to bacterial growth in it, making it unsafe to drink. Dust and small particles can also enter the glass. Even though it is closed, water stored in a bottle for a long time is also not safe. This is because when our mouths come into contact with the lips of the bottle, the water will mix with dead skin, dust, and sweat. Our saliva contains a lot of bacteria that can be mixed with the water in the bottle. When water is left on for a long time, bacteria grow in it and can enter your body when you drink it again. This can lead to a number of health problems.
Can you freeze water if it’s cold?
So, if you place bottles of purified water in the cold air of a freezer and leave them a couple of hours, they’ll still be liquid because pure water with no nuclei in it freezes at minus 43.6 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 42 degrees Celsius). It’s now a supercooled liquid, which does indeed sound super cool. Let’s Make Some Instant Ice!
Can water freeze at room temperature?
No, water cannot freeze at room temperature. In order for water to freeze, it needs to reach its freezing point, which is 0°C (32°F). 5. Can water freeze instantly? No, water cannot freeze instantly.
