How does water ice contrast from dry ice?

Answer 1

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.

Simply put, dry ice is colder than regular water ice and does not have the liquid residue that regular water ice leaves when subjected to high temperatures.

Answer 3

Better? it's colder because it is formed from carbon dioxide, which also makes it no good for putting in drinks. It freezes other things quickly because it is colder and it makes smoke as it defrosts.

But i dispute that it is better than water ice. Because you can't put it in drinks on hot days and it does not exist in it's natural form on earth.

Answer 4

Ice is water frozen into its solid state. It can appear transparent or opaque bluish-white colour depending on the prescience of impurities or air inclusions. It can appear in natural forms such as snowflakes, hail, icicles, glaciers, pack ice and entire polar ice caps. It's temperature is around 0 oC (32 oF)

While dry ice is is the solid form of carbon dioxide. The extreme cold makes the solid dangerous to handle without protection due to burns caused by freezing (frostbite). While generally nontoxic the out gassing from it can cause suffocation due to displacement of oxygen in confined locations. −56.4 °C (−69.5 °F).

Answer 5

ice is frozen water - dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.

Answer 6

No. Ordinary ice is frozen water; dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.

Answer 7

No, it is not. "Dry ice" is solid carbon dioxide (CO2), whereas ordinary ice would be solid water (H2O).

Answer 8

Ordinary ice is solid water, which dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. They are totally different substances.

Answer 9

No, dry ice is not the same as ordinary ice. "Ordinary" ice is frozen water, while dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Dry ice is also colder than ordinary ice.

Answer 10

Colloquial ice is a solid made from frozen water (H2O). Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.
