NO- not once they are frozen - but it will depress the freezing point requiring them to be colder in order to freeze.

Solid carbon dioxide has the look and feel of ice (and is even colder). But it does not melt to a liquid, but sublimates to form a gas. So it is always dry.


What are the chemicals in dry ice?

Carbon dioxide. Dry ice is made of nothing but carbon dioxide.


How long does it take for coke to melt?

When the ice melt?

Dry ice is carbon dioxide in solid form. CO2's melting point is -78oC


Can you mix dry ice with regular ice?

You can, the dry ice(solid form of carbon dioxide) will ultimately evaporate into carbon dioxide gas, and will then leave only the regular ice (frozen water). Because the dry ice will no longer exist, the regular ice will melt.


What is the definition of dry ice?

Dry ice is nothing more then frozen carbon dioxide. It is frozen to -109.6°F. Dry ice doesn't actually melt. It turns in to carbon dioxide gas through a process called Sublimation.

What is the Common name for carbon dioxide?

Dry Ice. Unlike water, Carbon Dioxide doesn't melt, it sublimates; going directly from solid to gas without going through liquid.


If you melt dry ice can you take a bath without getting wet?

Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (at atmospheric pressure) changes straight from a gas to a solid when cooled, and straight from solid to gas when warmed. If you filled a bath with dry ice and let it "melt" you would get a bath full of carbon dioxide gas. If you lay in it there is a potential for suffocation as the gas is heavier than air and will have displaced the air from the bath.
