Calcium Acetate, 100g Our lab grade calcium acetate appears as a white solid and is hygroscopic. It is popularly used to make Ethanol Jelly, also known as "California Snowballs". You can easily create your own ethanol jelly fire-starter by mixing a saturated solution of calcium acetate with our Ethyl Alcohol (sold separately). This way the ethanol fuel is more practical to store and transport. Chemical Formula: Ca (CH3COO)2 Appearance: Fine white powder Chemical Grade: Lab Quantity: 100g CAS: 62-54-4 Here is the recipe: First make a saturated calcium acetate solution by mixing 17 gm calcium acetate with 40ml of water. Next, in a separate container, measure about 100ml of ethyl alcohol. Add the ethyl alcohol to the calcium acetate solution and stir. You should see a jelly-like substance form instantly. Pour off any excess liquid and store the ethanol jelly in a ziplock bag until needed. Historical note...the basic commercial mixture was invented around 1900 with an evolution since of names. In 1918 the manufacturer promoted the product as a gift for a soldier going overseas. NOW the mixture is commercially called STERNO™ to use as a food warmer.
