Maybe the cold water becomes temporarily supercooled (temp < 0 without freezing). Perhaps someone doing this test should check the temp of the cold water when the "hot water" freezes?If this is the case then could this be applied to purification of safrole or other substance via feezing by heating up the sas oil (or other) before placing it in the fridge or freezer?
The water does become supercooled. the water begins crystalizaion at under 0C, but the temperature stablizes. water's weird. These tests have been done. What benefit does this have for freezing sassy? Quicker seperation times? I like to take my time when freezing for monster crystals 8)
EDIT RE TESTS DONE: I found this site in which Thomas A. Jennings Ph.D claims to have performed thousands of such tests.
I must have witnessed the freezing of thousands of samples of water and never once - no not once - did I ever witness ice forming at 0C.
