The spoon will almost always be warmer than the dry ice. As heat is transferred from the spoon to the ice, it will promote rapid sublimation of the dry ice it is contact with (sublimation = direct change from solid to gas). All that rapidly released gas moves the spoon out of the way - tilting it this way and that and bringing different parts of the spoon into contact with the surface of the dry ice - which then causes gas to be released from that part of the surface. The net effect is that the spoon rattles.

Can you place dry ice into a pressure cooker without it exploding?
When the dry ice is placed on the cooker it will explode, unless the temperature of the cooker is at a low degree.
What will happen to a tied balloon that has dry ice inside it when it is placed in room temperature water?
The balloon should expand because the frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) will sublime into carbon dioxide gas when placed into the room temperature water. The gas will expand, causing the balloon to expand.
An easy research report on ice and dry ice?
ice is slippery and dry ice is not because ice dosent dry out when the sun hits it and dry ice does!
What is solid CO2 called?
a molecular solid...
What is the chemical name of dry ice. why is it called dry ice. Is dry ice is same as the ordinary ice?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It is called dry ice because it does not melt when it heats up, it goes directly from solid to gas. It is NOT the same as ordinary ice, which is of course, solid water. Dry ice is much colder than ordinary ice.
What is an absinthe spoon for?
An absinthe spoon is used to sweeten the absinthe. The spoon is placed on the rim of a glass and a sugar cube is placed in it. Ice cold water is dripped onto the ice cube and into the glass.

it foams

Why does fruit carbonate when next to dry ice?
Fruit carbonates next to dry ice because of the dry ice's release of CO2. This gas, when placed next to fruit, sublimes and permeates the fruit. In return, it dissolves into the fruit's water supply.
Which statement describes the phase change that occurs when dry ice is placed in an open container at room temperature?
Dry ice undergoes sublimation, an exothermic change, at room temperature.
What statement describes the phase change that when dry ice is placed in an open container at room temperature?
sublimation
What are the ratings and certificates for Death Rattle Crystal Ice - 2009?
Death Rattle Crystal Ice - 2009 is rated/received certificates of: Australia:MA (2010)

The balloon should expand because the frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) will sublime into carbon dioxide gas when placed into the room temperature water. The gas will expand, causing the balloon to expand.
What are examples of conductivity?
When you hand touches the hot handle of a pot. When you touch an ice cube and it melts in your hand. When the spoon touches hot water and the spoon gets hot. When the spoon touches cold ice cream and the ice cream melts.

Why does a candle go out when dry ice is placed near it?
Gaseous carbon dioxide is released and this gas doesn't support burning.
