Only one of those is actually ice. Dry ice is frozen CO2 or carbon dioxide. Hot "ice" is only called hot ice because it is the product of an exothermic reaction (releasing heat) and because it looks like ice. Hot ice occurs when a super saturated solution of sodium acetate try-hydrate is cooled and then reintroduced to a sodium acetate crystal.

What happened to the dry ice when hot water was added?

The dry ice is melted and the carbon dioxide is released as a gas.


Can you use wet and dry ice together?

Yes, wet and dry ice can be used together. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide while wet ice is frozen water. When used together, dry ice can help keep wet ice colder for longer periods of time, making it useful for creating a long-lasting cooling effect.


How does dry ice compare with carbon dioxide gas?

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, or in other words it is the solid form of carbon dioxide.


How do you make a fog machine?

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


Why was the smoke moving downwards when you put the dry ice in the hot cup of coffee?

Because of condensation between Ice and the hot coffee.


When you put dry ice into hot water why does it stem more than in cold water?

Because dry ice evaporates faster in higher temperatures


Can dry ice float a hot air balloon?

No. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, so wont float a balloon.


What happens to dry ice on a hot summer day?

It sublimates, meaning it goes directly from a gas to a solid.


Can hot ice stay solid all day?

There is no hot ice, ice melts before it gets hot - unless you mean stolen diamonds, in which case yes, they can stay solid.we can also say that solid ice as dry co2 which cant be solid


What is the ideal temperature for safely handling dry ice and acetone together?

The ideal temperature for safely handling dry ice and acetone together is below -78.5 degrees Celsius (-109.3 degrees Fahrenheit).


Why does dry ice melt faster in hot water than cold water?

When Ice melts, it does so using latent heat. In other words as you heat the Ice/water mixture, until all the Ice has melted the temperature of the mixture does not increase until all the Ice has gone. The energy goes into melting the Ice and this is called the latent energy. Thus if you add the same sized ice cube to same size classes of water but one of the glasses is filled with hot water, the ice in the hot water will melt faster because the heat of the water will be used for the latent heat of melting.
