Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide and is a compound; nitrogen is an element.

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (chemical formula: CO2), comprising two oxygen atoms bonded to a single carbon atom. It is colourless, odourless, non-flammable, and slightly acidic.

Would dry ice function the same way as liquid nitrogen in the balloon experiment?

No, because dry ice is a solid and you cannot place a solid inside a solid. If it was liquid carbon dioxide (as opposed to dry ice, solid carbon dioxide) then it would behave similarly.

What is another name poor man's liquid nitrogen refers to?

I've never actually heard this term used. I suppose it might mean either dry ice or a mixture of dry ice and acetone (or dry ice and diethyl ether), dry ice being somewhat easier for most people to obtain than liquid nitrogen.


If you do not have cold place is there any chemical that helps ice not to melt that fast?

Liquid nitrogen or dry ice perhaps?


What is the chemical name of dry ice. why is it called dry ice. Is dry ice is same as the ordinary ice?

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It is called dry ice because it does not melt when it heats up, it goes directly from solid to gas. It is NOT the same as ordinary ice, which is of course, solid water. Dry ice is much colder than ordinary ice.


Can nitrogen gas be used to make dry ice?

Nitrogen in its liquid state is a cryogenic gas aka cryogen.


Can you freeze liquor with liquid nitrogen?

About the temperature of dry ice. It is the same as putting frozen water (ice) in a glass of water. The temperature of the ice and water will be about equal to the freezing point of water. Alcohol is used because it has a freezing point lower than H2O, if you put dry ice in water everything will freeze.


What substance is use to deep freeze?

Does liquid nitrogen Sublimate?

Liquid nitrogen is not dry ice. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen is pure nitrogen in liquid form. Dry ice is frozen nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is also frozen nitrogen, but is also pressurized. That's why it's in large, steel boxes. Chur.
