Dry ice is carbon dioxide at a very low temperature. When water strikes it, some of the water's heat is transferred to the dry ice, causing it to turn into a gas. This gas pushes the water away, so that the droplets seem to bounce off.

What is the mist that forms around dry ice at room temperature?

The mist around dry ice are tiny water droplets and gas. It is formed when water strikes it and when water strikes it, some of the water's heat is transferred to the dry ice, causing it to turn into a gas.


Is there such thing as dry water?

Dry water is a powdered liquid. It is a water air emulsion that has tiny water droplets. The water droplets are the size of a grain of sand. ==================================================== I am not sure of the veracity of the above answer, the water droplets would still each be wet!! However, in its solid form, ice, water is no longer wet.

Are cumulonimbus clouds made of water droplets or ice crystals?

They are made of bolth because they are vertically developed. The bottom is made of water, and as they develop higher, become ice.

Clouds are air masses filled with tiny water droplets or ice crystals.


Are clouds solid or are they made up of water droplets and ice crystals?

Clouds are not solid; they are made up of water droplets and ice crystals.


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 are super cooled droplets of water and how can these be changed into ice crystals?

Supercooled droplets of water are liquid water droplets that remain in a liquid state even below the freezing point of water due to a lack of nucleation sites. They can be changed into ice crystals by introducing a seed crystal or by disturbing the droplets, causing them to freeze and form ice crystals.


What is the process of water droplets or ice crystal falling from sky?

Precipitation is the process of water droplets or ice crystals falling from the sky.
