The atomic number for dry ice, or solid CO2, is 44. An atomic number is just the total number of protons for a given atom, or in this case, a given molecule. Atomic number refers to a singular element. e.g. What is the atomic number for copper, zinc, helium, etc.? The mass of a compound, however, would be called molecular mass, the added atomic masses in the compound.

How does it effect a plants growth if you ad dry ice to its soil?

Adding dry ice to soil can have negative effects on plant growth because the release of carbon dioxide from the sublimation of dry ice can suffocate the roots by displacing oxygen. Additionally, the extreme cold temperature of dry ice can damage the roots and disrupt metabolic processes in the plant. Overall, it is not recommended to add dry ice to soil for plant growth.


What does dry ice smell like?

depending on the type of food stored in your freezer, or the state you live in, your ice could come with a scent. The closer you live to sewer drains, the worse the smell, coloration, and clarity of your ice will be. It is best to stay away from ice that is not transparent. Some ice also comes with a foul taste and it is best to discard and use fresh water in your ice treys. Never trust brown ice.


Does dry ice occur naturally in Antarctica?

At atmospheric pressure, sublimation/deposition occurs at −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F). However, there is relatively little CO2 in the atmosphere, so you certainly won't get 'snow' or 'sheets of ice' from it. At best you'll get a little bit of dry ice 'frost'.


What happens when you pour water over dry ice why does this happen?

The bubbles you see that come from dry ice are filed with carbon dioxide and water vapour the surface tension of the water causes the bubbles to happen and when you bow on them the presure of the wind breaks the surface tension releasing the CO2 and eater.


Why do pieces of dry ice gradually get smaller when left at room temperature?

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide that sublimes, meaning it directly changes from a solid to a gas without melting into a liquid. At room temperature, the dry ice sublimes into carbon dioxide gas, leading to its gradual disappearance and decrease in size over time.
