- 35 Baking soda

-500 ml Boiling water

Outils

-Coffee filter

-Spoon

-Saucepan

-Sachet

Étape 1 -

Put 500mL of vinegar in a container and gently add the bicarbonate of soda (you will see a gas being released as it foams, this is carbon dioxide).



Étape 2 -

Pour this solution into the 500mL of boiling water in the pan and allow the solution to evaporate: you will notice crystals forming at the bottom of the pan.




Étape 3 -

Remove the crystals from the bottom of the saucepan and crush them so that they fit into the container (in this case, the Pompotes flask).




Étape 4 -

Bring the water to the boil and melt the mixture in the flask at a low temperature until the mixture is liquid.




Étape 5 -

Leave the sachet to stand in the open air, avoiding any shocks.




Étape 6 -

Add the paperclip and then stir the sachet to crystallize the sodium acetate which, being exothermic, will provide us with heat!




Étape 7 -

To reuse it, repeat steps 4 and 5.
