You can see dry ice fog even though carbon dioxide is invisible due to water vapor. The visible fog is from ambient water vapor that is condensed by the extreme cold of dry ice. Without plenty of ambient water vapor, the fog output of dry ice is reduced. This is another reason why dry ice foggers often involve hot water.
What else can I help you with?
What do you think the white vapor is that comes off the dry ice?
A fog of water vapour.The dry ice boils away as invisible carbon dioxide and as it does it freezes the water vapour rising off the water surface to make a mist
What is the vapor that surrounds dry ice?
80% nitrogen 20%oxegen EDIT Air is made mostly of Nitrogen (about 80% like stated before) and Oxygen (around 20%, also stated before). However, there is about one percent "Other Gases" such as Carbon Dioxide and Helium.
What is the formula for dry ice?
The dry ice is the solid form of the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) so you can name it: Carbonic anhydride, Carbonic acid gas, Carbon oxide, Carbonic oxide, Carbon(IV) oxide, and also as you called it, Dry ice (solid phase).
Dry ice used for fog effects is the solid form of what two elements?
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide, which consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. When dry ice sublimates, it transitions from solid to gas, creating a dense fog effect often used in theatrical productions and special effects.
How do things effect dry ice?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, which sublimates directly from a solid to a gas at -78.5°C. When dry ice is exposed to warmer temperatures, it sublimates rapidly into carbon dioxide gas, creating a characteristic fog effect. Dry ice is often used for cooling or special effects due to this unique property.

Why is dry ice fog bad to inhail?
Inhaling dry ice fog can be harmful because it is composed of carbon dioxide, which can displace oxygen in the air and lead to difficulty breathing. Inhaling too much carbon dioxide can cause dizziness, headaches, and in severe cases, unconsciousness. It is important to avoid prolonged exposure to dry ice fog in enclosed spaces and ensure proper ventilation.

What Fog is droplets of water and not carbon dioxide?
All fog (on Earth).

Is that water vapour or carbon dioxide form the smoke during dry ice sublimation?
The visible "smoke" is water vapor condensing from the surrounding air into tiny water droplets (basically, fog). Gaseous carbon dioxide is clear and colorless.
What makes dry ice fog up?
quick answer: because pure Carbon Dioxide is heavier than the mixture of gasses we call "air" the temperature around frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) "melts" the dry ice releasing gaseous carbon dioxide. which is still quite cold. the cold attracts water vapor which forms clouds just like you see in the sky. since pure Carbon Dioxide is heavier than the surrounding "air" it stays low and the cooled water vapor forms clouds around it until either the temperature rises above the dew point or the amount of water vapor is lowered to almost nothing (((this is the reason that bubbling caldrens (dry ice in bowl of water) slow down the cloudyness even when you add more dry ice))) if Carbon Dioxide were lighter than "air" then you would see the clouds as if they were steam rising and thus dissipating much more quickly thus the answer that CO2 is heavier than air being the reason that the fog accumulates
Does fog from dry ice have elements?
Yes it does. Everything in the universe is made up of elements. Elements are a combination of atoms.
Can carbon dioxide be seen?
Carbon dioxide itself is invisible to the naked eye because it is a colorless and odorless gas. However, we can sometimes see its effects, like when it is released in large quantities and causes a haze or fog.
What is the difference between dry ice and a fog machine?
Fog machines: Not found everywhere No age requirement No harm to skin unless allergic. Dry Ice: Found in grocery store 18 years or older Causes skin burns if left on skin
What happens when dry ice in water?
Dry ice doesn't chemically react with water. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide and when heated it sublimates into (still very cold) carbon dioxide gas. The fog you see is water vapor condensing out of the air when that air is rapidly cooled by the gaseous carbon dioxide (just like when you exhale in cold weather or open the freezer in a hot and humid kitchen). The bubbling is just the carbon dioxide sublimating and the gas rising to the surface of the water.
