Only one of those is actually ice. Dry ice is frozen CO2 or carbon dioxide. Hot "ice" is only called hot ice because it is the product of an exothermic reaction (releasing heat) and because it looks like ice. Hot ice occurs when a super saturated solution of sodium acetate try-hydrate is cooled and then reintroduced to a sodium acetate crystal.

Dry ice and ice are similar terms, but very different solids. Dry ice and ice are both used for cooling, but their different freezing temperatures and chemical structures provide for other very different functions and potential dangers. Ice is the solid form of water with a chemical structure of H2O. Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide with a chemical structure of CO2. Ice forms at 32°F. Dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Ice usually turns into liquid water when it gets above its freezing temperature. Liquid water turns into its gaseous form called steam at 212°F. Dry ice, instead, goes directly from solid form to gaseous carbon dioxide in a process called sublimation at minus 109.3°. Ice is used primarily for cooling food and for preserving perishable foods during shipping. Dry ice is used primarily as a coolant for shipping and for flash-freezing food, but its sublimation property and ultracold temperature also make it useful for other things like fog machines and fumigation of furniture. Dry ice must always be handled with protective gloves in a well-ventilated area. Also, dry ice should never be used to cool a drink because accidentally swallowing a piece is a life-threatening situation.

No, not at all.

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.

Simply put, dry ice is colder than regular water ice and does not have the liquid residue that regular water ice leaves when subjected to high temperatures.

Water ice and dry ice are completely different. Just about the only things that they have in common are that they are both cold and both have the word ice in the name. You may want to research what dry ice is and that may help you understand a bit better. But as requested, here are some ways they are different:

  • Dry ice is made of 100% carbon dioxide. Water ice is made of water.
  • Dry ice is -109.3°F and water is 32°F
  • Water ice melts in to a puddle of water and dry ice sublimates in to carbon dioxide gas.
  • Water ice forms naturally on earth. Dry ice does forms naturally on Mars.
  • Dry ice is manufactured in a big plant. Water ice is made in your freezer.

It is so cold that it can burn the skin. It can be fun to play with, but ONLY if you wear protection like gloves. I always use oven mitts when handling dry ice.

No, dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.

Hot ice is sodium acetate crystallized from a supersaturated solution.

Cold

If it were warm it would be water, not ice

No. Normal ice is frozen water. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.

I think fire is hotter because dry ice is very cold that you can't play Video Games for a week so obvisly fire is hotter

Can you burn coal over dry ice?

No, you cannot burn coal over dry ice. Though they say that dry ice "burns" it doesn't really. It is extremely cold, and if you were to touch it, (which I highly advise that you do not do) it would feel like it was burning you. So, you could not actually get coal hot using dry ice.


What happens when you put dry ice outside on a hot summer day?

Dry ice is simply solid Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and would turn back into a gas at a high enough temperature like on a hot summer day.
