Dry ice sublimates (turns from solid into vapor) in natural pressure conditions: 1 atmosphere, 101.3 kPa, or 14.7 lbf. This can be seen by the phase diagram of carbon dioxide (see link)
From there it follows the universal gas law: PV=nRT. The middle part of that equation can be ignored for simplicity. Pressure is directly related to temperature. At room temperature, the pressure of CO2 is 853 psi. Unless you have a very strong container, the first answer to this question is correct...
because it will blow up!!! on mythbusters they did this in a pop bottle and it was a really big boom!
What else can I help you with?
Is ice dangerous?
No, dry ice is frozen carbondioxide. (CO2) If melted in water, most of it will evapourate to the athmosphere. If melted in water in a closed container, pressure will rise and water will become 'carbonized' = sparkling water!
What describes the phase change that occurs when dry ice is placed in an open container at room temperature?
When dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is placed in an open container at room temperature, it undergoes sublimation, meaning it changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This process results in the dry ice gradually turning into carbon dioxide gas and dissipating into the surrounding environment.
What is called bone dry nitrogen gas?
Bone dry nitrogen gas refers to nitrogen gas that has been treated to remove all traces of water vapor, making it extremely dry and free of moisture. This type of nitrogen gas is commonly used in applications where moisture can be detrimental, such as in laboratories and sensitive industrial processes.
Why smoking is dangerous while taking a walk in a forest in very hot and dry weather?
Smoking in a very hot and dry forest can increase the risk of starting a wildfire due to the dry vegetation and high temperatures. A single spark from a cigarette butt can quickly ignite the dry forest floor, leading to a potentially devastating forest fire. It is important to be mindful of the surroundings and avoid activities that could pose a fire hazard in such conditions.
What is the meaning of the parched earth?
Parched earth refers to soil that is extremely dry and cracked due to prolonged exposure to heat and lack of moisture. It is often a sign of drought conditions and can make it difficult for plants to grow or for water to penetrate the ground.
Why do canisters pop when dry ice is added?
Because, the dry ice releases gases that build within the closed container, and when there is too much presure, the container pops.
When dry ice sublimates at room temperature does it create pressure?
Yes, when dry ice sublimates at room temperature, it can create pressure if contained in a sealed space. This is because the sublimation of dry ice produces carbon dioxide gas, which can build up pressure if not allowed to escape. It is important to handle dry ice properly to avoid dangerous pressure build-up.
Can dry ice explode?
Dry ice bombs are usually created from a container like plastic bottles, water, and dry ice. The solid carbon dioxide becomes warmer resulting to increase in pressure and limited room to expand.
Is dry quicksand dangerous?
Yes, dry quicksand is dangerous.
Is the desert extremely cold and dry?
In the winter, the desert can be extremely cold and dry.
Which container feels hottest which container feels coolest one with dry ice or one with cooking oil at room temperature?
which container feels hottest hot water which container feels coolest dry ice
How much cargo can a shipping container contain?
3 types of containers- 20' Dry Container with capacity 33 cubic meter, 40' Dry Container with capacity 68 cubic meter,40' High Cube Dry Container with capacity 76 cubic meter
What should pay attention to when storing 5 bromopyridin 2 amine?
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Why does does water evaporate in an open container?
The evaporation of a liquid in a closed container is much more difficult than in an opened container. The liquid evaporating is trapped inside of a closed container and allowed to freely move into the atmosphere in an open container.
What does DC stand for in 40 DC container?
40DC - 40 foot Dry Container. May also be shown as 40DV - for Dry Van (industry term)
What is extremely cold and dry?
tundra
Is Venus dry and hot?
Yes. Venus is dry and extremely hot.
