Dry ice, when added to water (which is another ingredient for the bomb), would rapidly start sublimating into carbon dioxide gas.
When you trap the gas in a water bottle, the gas builds up until it ruptures it and that is what creates the bang. There are no chemical reactions here, only a change in the state of matter.
If you mean the dry ice bomb as in putting dry ice in a bottle and sealing it, and then having it explode, then no. The bottle and the dry ice cannot be reused from the Dry Ice Bomb. The reasoning is that the Dry Ice would have already used enough of its fuel to try to explode the bottle that no fuel is left to explode another, and the bottle would be ripped in half by the Dry Ice inside, so the bottle cannot be reused.
A baking soda and vinegar bomb tends to just erupt from the cap instead of rupturing the container like a dry ice or hydrochloric bomb. So the sound would just be sort of a whooshing sound. However, other bombs like a dry ice or chlorine bomb would sound like a gunshot.
You can generally just fill the bottle a quarter of water and put in enough dry ice chunks to fill the bottom of the container; I'll say about 6 normal sized chunks for a 2-liter bomb.
When dry ice is heated, it does not become liquid - but sublimes (turns straight into gas). This means that there is no liquid residue left behind, so it is called 'dry'.
a molecular solid...
You can get into legal trouble if you injure someone with it, or if the place you live in does not allow dry ice bombs, such as Utah. If a dry ice bomb is legal in your country and you didn't hurt anyone with it, you can be fairely out of the woods, if no one complains about the noise. Dry ice bombs sounds like a gunshot.
Simple. You keep ice in dry ice. But be careful not to eat dry ice!
That depends entirely on where you live. Some places like New York allow dry ice bombs as long as you can keep everyone safe from it and not make anyone complain about it because of the noise, etc. Other places, like Utah, makes owning any type of homemade pressurized bomb a second-degree felony.
Dry ice freezes and the wet ice and everything keeps cool and chilled but not frozen..obvousliy.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.
Yes, dry ice is opaque.
Do you sell dry ice
