Regular ice is frozen, solid water. When s temperature rises, it turns to water: a liquid.

Dry is solid carbon dioxide. When its temperature rises, it becomes a gas instead of first turning to a liquid.

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.


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.


Is ice dry?

yes, until it starts to melt. or its dry ice


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!!


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 makes Dry Ice melt?

Dry ice doesn't melt, it changes from a solid state, to a gas state, that's why it's called DRY ICE, there is no known way that it melts.


Is salt the same as ice melt?

no, but ice melt is a salt


When does dry ice melt?

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


Why is dry used to keep ice cream cold?

It does not melt into water like regular ice. It sublimates to a gas when it warms up, making it a lot less messy to keep next to your ice cream.


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 is the chemical name of dry ice. why is it called dry ice. Is dry ice is same as the ordinary ice?

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It is called dry ice because it does not melt when it heats up, it goes directly from solid to gas. It is NOT the same as ordinary ice, which is of course, solid water. Dry ice is much colder than ordinary ice.


How much faster does dry ice melt than regular ice?

Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates rather than melts. It sublimates at a much faster rate than regular ice melts because it transforms directly from a solid to a gas at a temperature of around -78.5 degrees Celsius. Regular ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius, which takes more time than sublimation.
