They are both solids and are hard. Also, they are odorless and cold, and usually have white tints. When they are kept out long enough, they will melt/ sublime and change from a solid to a liquid or gas.

Can you mix dry ice with regular ice?

You can, the dry ice(solid form of carbon dioxide) will ultimately evaporate into carbon dioxide gas, and will then leave only the regular ice (frozen water). Because the dry ice will no longer exist, the regular ice will melt.


What is the differences between ice and water?

Both dry ice and ice have cold temperatures and are commonly used for freezing and cooling. Ice forms at 32°F while dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Water ice is created when water is exposed to very low temperatures while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Their main difference however lies in the fact that regular water ice melts into liquid while dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas. Dry is also more dense compared to regular water ice, thus dry ice sinks in water while regular water ice floats.

Is the density of regular ice more or less than dry ice?

more


Is dry ice the same as water in the solid state?

No. Dry ice is carbon dioxide in the solid state. Regular ice is solid water.


What is the difference between regular ice and dry ice and how do you make dry ice?

Both dry ice and ice have cold temperatures and are commonly used for freezing and cooling. Ice forms at 32°F while dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Water ice is created when water is exposed to very low temperatures while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Their main difference however lies in the fact that regular water ice melts into liquid while dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas. Dry ice is made when carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is compressed in a high-pressure container until it liquefies. Upon the release of pressure, some of the liquid turns into gas that cools some of the liquid into its solid state in the form of dry ice.


What is dry ice made from and what is the difference between dry ice and regular ice cubes?

Dry ice frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), it is created when CO2 is released in a high-pressure container that results to the cooling of liquid to freezing point. Dry ice sublimates directly from solid gas and has the temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Both dry ice and ice have cold temperatures and are commonly used for freezing and cooling. Ice forms at 32°F while dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Water ice is created when water is exposed to very low temperatures while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Their main difference however lies in the fact that regular water ice melts into liquid while dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas.

How did dry ice get its name?

It is called "dry" because when heat is given, it sublimes (turns from a solid into a gas). This is different from actual ice that turns from a solid to a liquid. It is called "ice" because solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is very cold, similar to ice.


Which is colder dry ice or regular ice with salt?

Dry ice vapor is carbon dioxide. The only argument that might be made is that the vapor, which is very cold, is more dense because of its lower temperature than "regular" or room temperature carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas, by the way. What you actually see when dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide changes state from a solid to a gas (which is called sublimation) is water vapor in the air condensing into tiny droplets because of the intense cold near the dry ice.


How does ice go to dry ice?

It doesn't. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, which has a very small liquid range and appears to go straight from solid to gas. It doesn't. Dry ice is made with frozen carbon dioxide and regular ice from H2O (water).


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!!
