You can't "breathe in" dry ice, it's a solid.

It's solid carbon dioxide, so if you were to breathe in the fumes from it, the same thing would happen as if you breathed in carbon dioxide. Except that it's probably also quite cold. If you didn't also breathe in sufficient oxygen, you would suffocate.

What happens when you put cinnamon in dry ice?

When cinnamon is placed in contact with dry ice, a reaction occurs where the cinnamon absorbs the carbon dioxide gas released by the dry ice. This may cause the cinnamon to bubble and fizz as the carbon dioxide is released, creating a visual effect. It is not dangerous, but should be done in a well-ventilated area.


What happens when you mix salt water and dry ice?

If a person took dry ice into his mouth, he would kill all the tissue that the dry ice touched, and could possibly die. If you even touch dry ice, it is so cold that it feels like it is burning you. Imagine what it could do to the thin, sensitive tissues in your mouth and throat.


What happens when dry ice is pressed against the skin?

When dry ice is pressed against the skin, it can cause frostbite due to the extremely low temperature of dry ice (-78.5°C or -109.3°F). The rapid freezing of the skin cells can lead to tissue damage and burns. It is important to handle dry ice carefully and avoid direct contact with the skin.


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.


What happens when you put dry ice in water?

When dry ice is put in water, it sublimates, turning from a solid directly into carbon dioxide gas. This creates a bubbling effect as the gas is released, and the water may appear to boil. The combination of dry ice and water can also create a foggy or misty effect due to the rapid cooling of the surrounding air.

Why doesn't the vapour created from sublimating dry ice change colour if dye is added?

The vapor created is not from the dry ice itself, nor is it from the water bucket you're probably putting it in. The vapor comes from water vapor in the air that is condensing because of the cool air. It's like what happens when you breathe on a cool mirror.

How will dry ice form a dry ice bubble?

Well, this was answered by a 10 year old kid. It happens when a normal soap bubble meets co2 filling the bubble.


What happens to the size of the dry ice as the bubbling goes on?

Dry ice decreases in size, because it is sublimating. This means it is turning from a solid in to a gas. Where as regular ice melts in to a puddle of liquid water, dry ice evaporates in to CO2 gas.


What temperature does dry ice melt?

Dry ice doesn't melt. It sublimates at -78 0C, or -109 0F. Sublimation is a direct transition from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase.
