Does a cold soda or a frozen soda lose more fizz?

Frozen, the colder the drink the more energy is lost in the reaction of CO2 and oxygen, so the fizz decreases


Why does a dry ice bubble happen?

The reason it blows up is because,The Ice is very, very sensitive and you can burn when you touch it so it forms because,there are a lot of gases inside.


What happens when you mix CO2 and dry ice?

Well, for starters, I assume that you already know that dry ice, as it is commonly called, is frozen CO2. Second, I assume that the CO2 that you are referring to is in a gaseous state. If these assumptions are true, then mixing dry ice and CO2 would accomplish next to nothing. The gaseous CO2 would get colder, and the dry ice would sublime faster or slower, depending upon the surrounding temperature before adding the gaseous CO2 compared to the temperature of the gaseous CO2. If warmer, it would sublime faster. If colder, it will sublime slower.


Does dry ice go through a physical change or chemical change?

It is a physical change (phase change). Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide gas. At atmospheric pressure, liquid CO2 is unstable. So the frozen solid "sublimes" turning directly from a solid to a gas (absorbing heat from around it).


Can CO2 freeze water?

CO2 itself can't freeze anything unless the CO2 is cold! It's like asking "Is water cold?" Well, only if it has been cooled down!There is nothing special about CO2 to make it cold unless it is cooled! CO2 can be frozen, in which case it is commonly called dry ice, and dry ice can certainly freeze water because CO2 freezes at -78 °C (instead of 0 °C for water). But more often, CO2 exists at a gas, and it will be whatever temperature the air around it is.

What are the uses for CO2?

It is used to make soda and push beverages through lines for dispensing. Plants use CO2 as a food. CO2 is frozen to create dry ice to keep things fresh.


Can you see CO2?

At normal temperatures and pressures CO2 is a gas - invisible. If you get it cold enough it solidifies; it then looks like frozen water, but darker in colour.

Is there wateron Mars?

not in liquid form, because it is too cold. There is ice on the poles which are made out of frozen co2 and water.


What are CO2 and N20?

CO2 is Carbon Dioxide, which when frozen becomes dry ice. N2O is Nitrous Oxide, which is also known as Laughing Gas for it's effects when inhaled. It is commonly used to produce anesthesia.
