Yes, dry ice can cause skin burns and frostbites. It's very cold temperature can freeze cells when contact is prolonged.

Treat dry ice burns the same way as treating other types of burns. Apply ointment and see a doctor when necessary.

What are some creative ways to make refreshing summer treats using dry ice, such as dry ice popsicles?

One creative way to make refreshing summer treats using dry ice is to create dry ice popsicles. To do this, mix your favorite fruit juice or soda with chunks of dry ice in a mold. The carbonation from the dry ice will create a fizzy and refreshing popsicle. Another idea is to make a dry ice ice cream by mixing cream, sugar, and flavorings with dry ice in a bowl. The dry ice will freeze the mixture quickly, creating a creamy and smooth ice cream. Just be sure to handle dry ice carefully and follow safety precautions when using it in food preparation.


Why is dry ice called so?

Dry ice is called so because it consists of solid carbon dioxide, rather than water ice. When dry ice melts, it sublimates directly into carbon dioxide gas, without leaving a liquid residue, which is why it is termed as "dry" ice.


What is ratio od dry ice volume to mass?

The ratio of dry ice volume to mass depends on the temperature at which the dry ice is stored, as dry ice sublimes at -78.5°C. At this temperature, the volume of dry ice is about 832 cm³ per 1 kg of mass. Keep in mind that this ratio may vary slightly due to factors such as pressure and purity of the dry ice.


Is dry ice a element?

Dry ice is not an element. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a compound.


Can you mix dry ice with regular ice?

You can, the dry ice(solid form of carbon dioxide) will ultimately evaporate into carbon dioxide gas, and will then leave only the regular ice (frozen water). Because the dry ice will no longer exist, the regular ice will melt.

What is the problem question about dry ice bubbles?

Dry ice is colder than regular ice and if you touch it ,it will hurt. Dry ice is solidified Carbon Dioxide, and it does not go from solid state to liquid state - it goes from solid state to gaseous state through a process called sublimation.
