Less time than it takes a mud puddle to dry up. It depends on the size and shape of the chunk of ice, and the temperature of the air, of course.

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


Where is the thermal energy coming from causing dry ice to sublimate?

It's the same principle as if a liquid is evaporating, for example. It requires thermal energy to evaporate the liquid, or to sublimate a solid; therefore, this process will cool down (in this example) the dry ice, and the surrounding air.


What are some objects that sublimate?

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Things that sublimate are ice, iodine, and carbon dioxide.

How to reduce dry ice loss?

To reduce dry ice loss, make sure to pack dry ice as close to each other as possible. Fill any empty space with new bubble packs, newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts since the space will cause the dry ice to sublimate faster.


What is an example of sublimation that is not dry ice?

Iodine crystals will sublimate to iodine gas without going through a perceivable liquid state.


What can water ice do that dry ice cant?

Water ice can not do very much that dry ice can't do. The main things it can do are:Keep things less cold than dry ice. This could be good if you don't want to over freeze the food in your cooler.Keep drinks cold without carbonating them.Can be eaten by a human.Can be made for MUCH less money.EDIT:It can melt. Dry ice can only sublimate.
