How Supercooled Liquid Water Causes Aircraft Icing: Demo Aviation Meteorology Ice & Chemistry

Here's a quick experiment to help you see how supercooled liquid water can cause aircraft icing! I actually received this experiment in a science kit from MEL Chemistry (https://melscience.com/US-en/chemistr... to see the set). This experiment uses a supercooled solution of sodium acetate and water, but the same principal happens with supercooled water suspended in clouds in the atmosphere.
