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.

What is the differences between ice and water?

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. Dry is also more dense compared to regular water ice, thus dry ice sinks in water while regular water ice floats.

Which turns into a gas faster dry ice on a paper towel or dry ice in water?

dry ice is (i don't remember ) minus 80? Celsius degrees and it turns to gas because of heatsince air is heat-isolating and water is heat-leading the answer is dry ice in water


Is dry ice related to water?

No not at all. Dry ice is in fact solid Carbon dioxide, and there's no water whatsoever in it.
