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.

∙ 14y agoHot 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

Why does dry ice melt faster in hot water than cold water?
When Ice melts, it does so using latent heat. In other words as you heat the Ice/water mixture, until all the Ice has melted the temperature of the mixture does not increase until all the Ice has gone. The energy goes into melting the Ice and this is called the latent energy. Thus if you add the same sized ice cube to same size classes of water but one of the glasses is filled with hot water, the ice in the hot water will melt faster because the heat of the water will be used for the latent heat of melting.
Is it hot or cold in the Antarctic ice?

Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?

Why do people need hot ice?
The hot ice as in an hot-pack is used to store heat that won't be lost when it's in an cold enviroment. The particle that causes the ice to be hot(Sodium acetate: NaCH3COO) is also used in food as an preservative and an acidity(pH) regulator.
