Both dry ice and ice have cold temperatures and are commonly used for freezing and cooling. Ice forms at 32°F while dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Water ice is created when water is exposed to very low temperatures while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Their main difference however lies in the fact that regular water ice melts into liquid while dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas.
Simply put, dry ice is colder than regular water ice and does not have the liquid residue that regular water ice leaves when subjected to high temperatures.

∙ 12y agoBetter? it's colder because it is formed from carbon dioxide, which also makes it no good for putting in drinks. It freezes other things quickly because it is colder and it makes smoke as it defrosts.
But i dispute that it is better than water ice. Because you can't put it in drinks on hot days and it does not exist in it's natural form on earth.

∙ 12y agoIce is water frozen into its solid state. It can appear transparent or opaque bluish-white colour depending on the prescience of impurities or air inclusions. It can appear in natural forms such as snowflakes, hail, icicles, glaciers, pack ice and entire polar ice caps. It's temperature is around 0 oC (32 oF)
While dry ice is is the solid form of carbon dioxide. The extreme cold makes the solid dangerous to handle without protection due to burns caused by freezing (frostbite). While generally nontoxic the out gassing from it can cause suffocation due to displacement of oxygen in confined locations. −56.4 °C (−69.5 °F).

∙ 14y agoNo. Ordinary ice is frozen water; dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.

∙ 14y agoNo, it is not. "Dry ice" is solid carbon dioxide (CO2), whereas ordinary ice would be solid water (H2O).
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoOrdinary ice is solid water, which dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. They are totally different substances.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, dry ice is not the same as ordinary ice. "Ordinary" ice is frozen water, while dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Dry ice is also colder than ordinary ice.

How does the temperature of water affect the sublimation of dry ice?
cold water makes dry ice closer to its freezing point. so hot water makes dry ice sublimate more
What chemical properties do dry ice and water ice have different?
Dry ice is CO2 and water is H2O; all the chemical properties are different.
What happens if you put saltbon dry ice?
You will have some dry water sodium. Salty dry ice.
What temperature of water do you need to use to make a dry ice bubble?
Not water. 'Dry Ice' is frozen Carbon Dioxide.
What does dry ice form when added to water?
It generally forms water ice and carbon dioxide vapor.Dry ice is so much colder than the freezing point of water, if you drop dry ice into water the water will freeze. At the same time, water ice is so much above the freezing point of CO2 that the dry ice sublimates back into gaseous CO2.
What is causing the change in dry ice and the water ice?
Temperature causes changes in dry and water ice
What is dry ice for?
dry ice is for mixing with water to make fog
Is the temperature of ice water lower than the temperature of dry ice in alcohol?
No. The temperature of dry ice is far lower than that of ice water.
How does the temperature of water affect the sublimation of dry ice?
cold water makes dry ice closer to its freezing point. so hot water makes dry ice sublimate more
Is dry ice or normal ice heavier?
Ice expands as it warms. At 4 degrees C water achieves it's maximum density. Warm ice is less dense than cold ice. Any amount of liquid water would mean that the ice has gotten as warm as it can get and that it is in equilibrium with the liquid water. The ice, being crystalline, has a discreet melting point so it is either water or it is warm ice. If the ice is wet, it is less dense than ice that is cold enough that the water in contact with it freezes. That doesn't mean that warm ice must be wet ice. If the water is removed, the dry ice will be the same density as the wet ice of the same temperature. Having said that, it is possible that you want to contrast the density of frozen carbon dioxide to water ice. * Water ice has a density of 0.92 g/ml * Dry ice (CO2) has a density range from 1.4 to 1.6 g/ml
What chemical properties do dry ice and water ice have different?
Dry ice is CO2 and water is H2O; all the chemical properties are different.
Is dry ice the same as water in the solid state?
No. Dry ice is carbon dioxide in the solid state. Regular ice is solid water.
What happens if you put saltbon dry ice?
You will have some dry water sodium. Salty dry ice.
What is the differences between water and ice?
Both dry ice and ice have cold temperatures and are commonly used for freezing and cooling. Ice forms at 32°F while dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Water ice is created when water is exposed to very low temperatures while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Their main difference however lies in the fact that regular water ice melts into liquid while dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas. Dry is also more dense compared to regular water ice, thus dry ice sinks in water while regular water ice floats.

What is the mist from dry ice?
Dry water vapor.
Why is dry ice not the solid state of water?
Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide.
