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.
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.
A hypothesis for an experiment involving dry ice could be: "I predict that placing dry ice in warm water will cause it to rapidly sublimate, creating a cloud of carbon dioxide gas due to the temperature difference between the dry ice and water." This hypothesis clearly states the expected outcome of the experiment and the reason behind it.
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.
Yes, dry ice does melt in water. Dry ice also sinks in water. Dry ice has a density of 1.2 grams-per-centimeter cubed which is greater than water's density of 1 gram-per-centimeter cubed. Check link below for more information on dry ice and dry ice makers. EDIT: Dry ice does not melt, it sublimates (skips being a liquid and goes straight from solid to gas).
Dry ice will rapidly sublimate (turn from solid to gas) at temperatures above -78.5 degrees Celsius. At 45 degrees Celsius, it will sublimate very quickly, turning directly into carbon dioxide gas without melting into liquid form.
it can sublimate faster in hot water
cold water makes dry ice closer to its freezing point. so hot water makes dry ice sublimate more
dry ice
Putting dry ice in water causes it to sublimate more quickly, releasing carbon dioxide gas at a faster rate. The water helps transfer heat to the dry ice, causing it to sublimate faster and therefore increasing the amount of gas produced.
No, but it will evaporate (or, more properly) sublimate.
Yes
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.
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.
"Under certain circumstances, ice can sublimate directly to water vapor, without ever becoming liquid water."
Dry ice only melts when it is under pressure of 5.1 atmospheres.
