What happens when dry ice in water?

Answer 1

Dry ice doesn't chemically react with water.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide and when heated it sublimates into (still very cold) carbon dioxide gas. The fog you see is water vapor condensing out of the air when that air is rapidly cooled by the gaseous carbon dioxide (just like when you exhale in cold weather or open the freezer in a hot and humid kitchen). The bubbling is just the carbon dioxide sublimating and the gas rising to the surface of the water.

Answer 2

When dry ice is placed in water, it sublimates (turns directly from a solid to a gas) very rapidly. This reaction causes the dry ice to create bubbles and produce dense fog, which is actually the condensed water vapor in the air.

Answer 3

dry ice and hot boiling water is the same because they both burn so since they burn its hot in two separate extrems that's why dry ice boils because of the heat it has.

Although it seems that dry ice is boiling when it is placed in water, in reality it is not 'boiling' in the conventional sense. Dry ice despite having 'ice' in its name contains no water, and consists of carbon dioxide, which is more commonly found in the form of a gas. Thus, when dry ice is placed in water and it melts, it undergoes a change of state (sublimation- solid to gas) and forms carbon dioxide gas. The formation of these gases form the bubbles that causes the water to bubble as if it is boiling.

Now, boiling in chemistry is strictly defined as the change of state that occurs as liquid changes into gas. In the dry ice in water scenario, no liquid is becoming gas.

Answer 4

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, frozen at a temperature of -78 degrees Celsius (-109 degrees Fahrenheit). At room temperature, the dry ice sublimates, turning directly into carbon dioxide gas. When placed in water, the cold carbon dioxide causes water vapor to form large droplets. The resulting carbon dioxide and water cloud, heavier than the surrounding air, spills out and to the ground.

Answer 5

Dry ice is very cold. When it is placed into a liquid, the heat of the liquid warms the dry ice. When dry ice is warmed by the liquid, the dry ice turns into a gas called carbon dioxide. What you see is the release of the carbon dioxide gas, bubbling through the liquid to get to the surface of the liquid.

Answer 6

The Carbon Dioxide in the dry ice is being released, which forms white-foggy bubbles and a white fog is released also.

Answer 7

The water melts the dry ice and since dry ice is composed of CO2 the carbon dioxide forms bubbles

Answer 8

when you put dry ice in hot water fog is created because of the c20 chemicals it has

Answer 9

In water carbonic acid is formed.

Answer 10

Melt
