Dry ice sublimates quickly in vinegar due to the exothermic reaction between the solid carbon dioxide and the acetic acid in the vinegar. This reaction produces carbon dioxide gas and generates heat, which increases the temperature of the dry ice and accelerates its transition from solid to gas. Additionally, the presence of liquid vinegar facilitates the formation of gas bubbles, further enhancing the sublimation process.

What affects how fast a piece of dry ice sublimates?

it can sublimate faster in hot water


What substances sublimate?

dry ice


Can dry ice melt in vineger?

No, but it will evaporate (or, more properly) sublimate.


Does dry ice sublime?

Yes


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


Where is the thermal energy coming from causing dry ice to 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.


Why does Dry ice sublimate faster in different liquids ie fast in vinegar but slow in syrup or oil?

Dry ice sublimates faster in liquids like vinegar due to its high acidity and low viscosity, which increases the rate of sublimation by promoting the release of carbon dioxide gas. In contrast, liquids like syrup or oil have higher viscosity and lower reactivity, which slow down the sublimation process by creating a barrier between the dry ice and the liquid.


When does dry ice melt?

Dry ice only melts when it is under pressure of 5.1 atmospheres.


Why does putting dry ice in water increase the amount of gas produced?

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.


How to reduce dry ice loss?

To reduce dry ice loss, make sure to pack dry ice as close to each other as possible. Fill any empty space with new bubble packs, newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts since the space will cause the dry ice to sublimate faster.


What contributes to how fast dry ice will sublimates?

Dry ice is extremly conductive to temperature


What is an example of sublimation that is not dry ice?

Iodine crystals will sublimate to iodine gas without going through a perceivable liquid state.
