Dry ice sublimates quickly in water because water is both relatively dense and has a high specific heat, which means that a relatively small volume of it can transfer a larger amount of heat.

What are some objects that sublimate?
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Things that sublimate are ice, iodine, and carbon dioxide.
Does dry ice dissolve in water?
No, you simply can't convert dry ice into water. This is primarily because dry ice is made out of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). It also sublimates directly from solid to gas meaning that there is no water residue, unlike that or ordinary water ice when it melts. Check link below for more information on dry ice and dry ice makers.
What are examples of sublimation besides dry ice?
Water can sometimes sublimate from solid ice to water vapor. Iodine sublimates from a solid to gas form when heated and does not often enter the liquid stage. Arsenic and naphthalene are other substances that are prone to sublimation, and other substances can sublimate in certain unusual circumstances.
What is causing the change in dry ice and the water ice?
Temperature causes changes in dry and water ice
Which ice melts faster dry ice or regular ice?
Dry Ice because dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, totally different from ordinary ice, which is frozen water. Dry ice is much colder than water ice, thus it melts faster. P.S. DO NOT TOUCH IT FREEZES YOUR SKIN INSTANTLY!!
What affects how fast a piece of dry ice sublimates?
it can sublimate faster in hot water
How does the temperature of water affect the sublimation of dry ice?
cold water makes dry ice closer to its freezing point. so hot water makes dry ice sublimate more
What substances sublimate?
dry ice
Can dry ice melt in vineger?
No, but it will evaporate (or, more properly) sublimate.
Does dry ice sublime?
Yes
What is a sentence for sublimation?
Here is an example sentence with the word "sublimate":Dry ice will sublimate into carbon dioxide when it is kept at room temperature.
What can water ice do that dry ice cant?
Water ice can not do very much that dry ice can't do. The main things it can do are:Keep things less cold than dry ice. This could be good if you don't want to over freeze the food in your cooler.Keep drinks cold without carbonating them.Can be eaten by a human.Can be made for MUCH less money.EDIT:It can melt. Dry ice can only sublimate.
Where is the thermal energy coming from causing dry ice to sublimate?
It's the same principle as if a liquid is evaporating, for example. It requires thermal energy to evaporate the liquid, or to sublimate a solid; therefore, this process will cool down (in this example) the dry ice, and the surrounding air.
How do you use the world sublimate in a sentence?
"Under certain circumstances, ice can sublimate directly to water vapor, without ever becoming liquid water."
What are some objects that sublimate?
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Things that sublimate are ice, iodine, and carbon dioxide.
When does dry ice melt?
Dry ice only melts when it is under pressure of 5.1 atmospheres.
Can carbon dioxide change directly from the solid phase to the gas phase?
Yes, solid carbon dioxide (dry ice), like water ice, can sublimate - that is, turn directly from a solid to a gas.
