Dry ice itself does not blow up, the container does. You see, dry ice sublimates (changes directly from solid to gas) at room temperature, a process that is vastly accelerated by dumping it in hot water. If you do this in a container and hermetically seal it, the gas produced by the sublimation process will cause the pressure to build up inside the container. Eventually the tremendous pressure will cause the container to blow up. Keep in mind that this will happen even without the hot water, although it will take a bit longer.

Why does water with dry ice in it boil?
It doesn't! The dry ice boils, while the water gets cold. It just LOOKS like the water is boiling. If you capture and analyze some of the gas that comes off, you will see that it's carbon dioxide (dry ice), not water vapor.
What is causing the change in dry ice and the water ice?
Temperature causes changes in dry and water ice
Boil is to as freeze is to ice?
water
How do you make dry ice with sodium acetate?
You have to boil and heat water and add sodium acetate (a powder easy to find online), and mix it until it is fully dissolved. Then pour the water in a glass and put the glass in the fridge. After 2 hours, the liquid is ready. You pour the liquid into and kind of place, or leave it in the glass. Then, you put a tiny little part in your finger of sodium acetate, and touch the liquid. It will then turn into dry ice.
What is the mist from dry ice?
Dry water vapor.

Why does melted ice boil?
Melted ice is liquid water and water boil.
What happens when you add dry ice to warm water?
There will be fake fog as it sublimes
Why does dry ice boil?
Practically all materials have a boiling point.
How can you make fog?
Take a big can then boil some water then put the boiled water inside the can then put in the can dry ice then fog comes out of the can TIP: Great for parties!

What is dry ice for?
dry ice is for mixing with water to make fog

Is the temperature of ice water lower than the temperature of dry ice in alcohol?
No. The temperature of dry ice is far lower than that of ice water.
How does the temperature of water affect the sublimation of dry ice?
cold water makes dry ice closer to its freezing point. so hot water makes dry ice sublimate more
What is a good hypothesis for a dry ice project?
a hypothesis for hot ice would depend on the ingredients you use and the temperature my example would be..... " i boil 1L vinegar and add 4 tsp on baking soda for 30 minutes until a crust forms and then i cool it in the fridge for 40 minutes. then when i touch it it instantly turn into ice".... u could also do the experiment where u use sodium acetate or the one where you use hand warmers.
