If dry ice is put onto a metal coin why does it squeak?

When dry ice is placed on a metal coin, the extreme cold temperature causes the metal to contract rapidly. This rapid contraction creates friction between the dry ice and the metal surface, resulting in a squeaking sound. The sound is similar to the squeak produced when two materials rub against each other.

What is the physical change of metal if in contact with dry ice?

The metal would tend to contract in size. One technique to remove a gear from a shaft is to cool the shaft while heating the gear. The shaft contracts a bit while the gear expands a bit which can make the gear easier to remove. Also, dry ice (CO2) would not oxidize metal as water ice (H2O) would.


Can you use any type of cooler for dry ice?

No, not all coolers are suitable for dry ice. It is recommended to use a heavy-duty cooler made of materials like plastic or metal that can withstand the extremely low temperature of dry ice without cracking or breaking. Additionally, make sure the cooler has a good seal to prevent the gas buildup that can occur with dry ice.
