What effect does antifreeze have on the melting point of ice?
Antifreeze decreases the freezing point of ice so that it melts at lower temperatures also.
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 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.
Why does dry ice last longer when salt is sprinkled on it?
it is a process called freezing point depression. The salt lowers the freezing point of water therefore it has to be colder for the water to return to ice
Is dry ice a mineral?
No, dry ice frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), it is created when CO2 is released in a high-pressure container that results to the cooling of liquid to freezing point. Dry ice sublimates directly from solid gas and has the temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C. See the link below for more fast facts on dry ice.
Which facts about the use of antifreeze illustrates a rule that governs the physical world?
Antifreeze keeps water from freezing when it is cold out. The antifreeze liquid lowers the freezing point of the water. Even when freezing (to a slurry) it does not form solid ice that can rupture the radiator. The antifreeze combines the water to form a liquid with a lower freezing point than water alone.

What happen if you heat dry ice to 50C?
Frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) will turn back to a gas when heated at any temperature above freezing.

it is a process called freezing point depression. The salt lowers the freezing point of water therefore it has to be colder for the water to return to ice
Is freezing carbon dioxide to make dry ice a chemical change?
No, it's a physical change.
What is dry ice made from and what is the difference between dry ice and regular ice cubes?
Dry ice frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), it is created when CO2 is released in a high-pressure container that results to the cooling of liquid to freezing point. Dry ice sublimates directly from solid gas and has the temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C. 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.
Is it possible to start a fire with ice?
Yes, it is possible to fashion ice into a lens that is capable of sparking a fire from sunlight in dry tinder.
Why is antifreeze put into car radiators?
So that the water used as coolant in most car radiators does not freeze overnight. If it does then, because ice expands as it freezes and melts, it can crack the engine block. The antifreeze lowers the freezing point of the coolant and reduces the risk. The more antifreeze, the less risk of freezing. But too much and it will boil when the car is running. Additives in antifreeze also reduces corrosion and raises the boiling point.
What might be the problem if there is ice under the radiator cap and the motor is overheating?
It sounds like the antifreeze / distilled water mixture is freezing because the antifreeze mixture is too weak for the outside temperature Usually the antifreeze and preferably distilled water mixture is 50 / 50 ( Ford states to not exceed 60 % antifreeze )
What is the difference between solid ice and dry 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.
