# As dry ice sublimates (it doesn't melt, because there's no liquid state between solid and gas), the carbon dioxide it gives off is larger in volume so it will break open a sealed container. In a bottle, though, what it does is pop the lid. If the lid is tight enough, it will shoot off pretty forcefully. The same goes with test tubes and other such containers. # technically yes. but it would either take a very long time or only build up pressure but not enough to explode the bottle. This could happen if the bottle is not completely dried out on the inside or if you put dry ice in a bottle on a humid day and the humidity gets into the bottle. or starts to make the dry ice react b4 u put it in the bottle and it continues while inside the bottle.

If the bottle is open, the dry ice will simply sublime and exit the container, likely producing a cloud of condensed water vapor. However, if the bottle is sealed, the gas produced by the dry ice that sublimes will not be able to escape. Thus, the pressure in the bottle will increase, possibly resulting in a violent 'explosion'.

Yes it will! People have been killed by these, because they act basically like a hand grenade.

The Dry Ice starts to sublimate into carbon dioxide and the extra air expands the balloon.

The Dry Ice basically turns into Air and the air makes the balloon bigger.

Can you reuse dry ice?

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.


How do you make a water bottle explode?

Get ice vinegar salt and prepruser


Why does the balloon blow up when it is on a plastic bottle with dry ice and water in it?

the vapors of the dry ice fill up the ballon with gas


Can dry ice explode?

Dry ice bombs are usually created from a container like plastic bottles, water, and dry ice. The solid carbon dioxide becomes warmer resulting to increase in pressure and limited room to expand.


Experiments with coca cola?

put mints in the diet coca cola or put a dry ice cube inside it ande stand back because the bottle will explode


How many dry ice you put in a water bottle bomb?

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.


Microwave frozen water bottle?

As water freezes and becomes ice it expands in volume. If a bottle is half-filled with water and then frozen, the bottle should remain intact because the volume of air in the bottle will contract as the water/ice expands and so the airspace will accommodate the final volume of the ice. If the bottle is completely filled with water and then frozen, the bottle will most likely break because there is no airspace to 'absorb' the expansion of the water/ice. As the freezing is a relatively slow process, the bottle will not explode, but will in all likelyhood crack and may break apart.


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.


Can you pop a cork with dry ice?

If there was a small amount of dry ice in the bottle, then yes, it would be able to pop a cork


What is causing the change in dry ice and the water ice?

What will happen to a sealed balloon that contains dry ice if the balloon is left at room temperature?

If the ice melts, then because of the density of water, it will implode (Explode INWARD) because of the less particles in the liquid.
