Depends on what the something is. It's safe with water, not so with Gallium (this has nothing to do with your house - but Gallium is toxic)Someone502 said:First off, is it safe to supercool something in my house.
Under the right conditions : yes.Second, is it even possible.
Again, this depends on what the "it" is. You have to cool it just below its freezing point. (I'm essentially quoting you here.) Different "its" have different freezing points.Third, how cold would i have to get it to supercool it?

Thanks.
NOTE : You want to make the freezer temperature be just (a couple degrees or so) below freezing. Too low and it won't work.Gonzolo said:3. Unshaken, distilled water in a very clean glass bottle stored in a freezer for a few hours : it should crystallize when removed and slightly shaken if all goes well.
Supercooling is generally safe to do in your house as long as you follow proper safety precautions. However, it is important to note that there are some risks involved, such as the potential for the container to shatter or for the liquid to freeze instantly upon contact with a surface.
When supercooling, it is important to wear protective gear, such as gloves and eye protection, to prevent any potential injuries. It is also recommended to supercool in a well-ventilated area and to use containers specifically designed for supercooling.
Not all liquids can be supercooled, as it depends on their chemical composition. Water, for example, can be supercooled, but other liquids such as alcohol or oil may not be able to reach a supercooled state.
The temperature that can be reached when supercooling something in your house will depend on the type of liquid and the conditions in which you are supercooling. However, it is generally not recommended to go below -9 degrees Celsius, as this is the freezing point of most household liquids.
Yes, there are some risks involved in supercooling, such as the potential for the container to shatter or for the liquid to freeze instantly upon contact with a surface. It is important to take proper safety precautions and to be aware of the potential risks before attempting to supercool something in your house.
