dry ice does not melt, it merely skips the liquid state and evaporates while its still solid, then it will rain (or liquid falls from the sky) and then its water so then it can evaporate, but however, once its liquid state, its not dry ice.

Will dry ice melt on contact with salt?

No, dry ice will not melt on contact with salt. In the first place, dry ice does not melt. It does not have a liquid phase under normal atmospheric pressure. It transforms from solid to gas, which is called sublimation. Dry ice sublimes, rather than melts. Secondly, salt has no effect on the sublimation of dry ice. Salt has an effect on frozen water, but it does not have an effect on frozen carbon dioxide. Salt is soluble in water, it is not soluble in carbon dioxide.


How fast does dry ice melt?

Dry ice sublimates rather than melts. It turns directly from a solid to a gas at -78.5°C (-109.3°F) at normal atmospheric pressure. The rate of sublimation can vary depending on factors like temperature, surface area, and environmental conditions.


Can dry ice be refrozen before it starts to melt?

it it can the part that hasent started melting


Why is solid carbon dioxide is called dry ice?

That's precisely what it's made of. "Regular" ice is made of solid water, also known as H2O. Dry ice is made of solid CO2. If you meant to ask that question backwards, solid CO2 is called dry ice because CO2 in its standard state at room temperature is a gas, unlike water, which is a liquid, therefore "dry ice" evaporates and leaves no liquid.


Which ice melts faster dry ice or regular ice?

Dry Ice because dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, totally different from ordinary ice, which is frozen water. Dry ice is much colder than water ice, thus it melts faster. P.S. DO NOT TOUCH IT FREEZES YOUR SKIN INSTANTLY!!

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.

What are some good titles for science fair experiments with dry ice?

Use modeling clay to shape a volcano, then fill it with water and when you are giving your presentation, drop dry ice in it, it will begin to make fog.


If you put dry ice in 1 liter magma will it solidify or will it melt the ice?

How much dry ice? Regardless, a signifigant amount to all of the dry ice will sublime (solid CO2 will not melt under any atmospheric circumstances) and some to all of the magna will solidify into igneous rock. The results are dependent on the quantity of dry ice.


How is dry ice unique?

dry ice is actually solid carbon dioxide . it does not melt coz it directly sublimes into gaseous stat


Why dry ice is known as dry ice?

Solid carbon dioxide has the look and feel of ice (and is even colder). But it does not melt to a liquid, but sublimates to form a gas. So it is always dry.


Is dry ice used in skating rinks?

Yes and No at the same time because if it was real ice it would melt. But if it was dry ice we would not be able to skate on it.
