Dry water vapor.


Why doesn't the vapour created from sublimating dry ice change colour if dye is added?

The vapor created is not from the dry ice itself, nor is it from the water bucket you're probably putting it in. The vapor comes from water vapor in the air that is condensing because of the cool air. It's like what happens when you breathe on a cool mirror.

Water vapor


What is difference between dry air and atmospheric air?

the difference between dry air and atmospheric air is that atmospheric air contains water vapor but dry air contains no water vapor


Where does the water go when you dry them?

Dry what? Perhaps the water is evaporated, and becomes vapor in the air.


Is the oxygen not found the dry air?

It is. Dry air lacks water vapor, not oxygen.


Why does water with dry ice in it boil?

It doesn't! The dry ice boils, while the water gets cold. It just LOOKS like the water is boiling. If you capture and analyze some of the gas that comes off, you will see that it's carbon dioxide (dry ice), not water vapor.


How does a dry steam cleaner work?

A dry steam cleaner works by turning water into dry steam vapor. The cleaner heats water under high pressure which turns the water into a vapor that has very little moisture.


When dry ice is exposed to the air it changes to a vapor.?

Yes.


If the carbon dioxide is invisible how can we see a dry ice fog?

You can see dry ice fog even though carbon dioxide is invisible due to water vapor. The visible fog is from ambient water vapor that is condensed by the extreme cold of dry ice. Without plenty of ambient water vapor, the fog output of dry ice is reduced. This is another reason why dry ice foggers often involve hot water.


What occurs during dry ice sublimation?
