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 the difference between Dry chemistry analyzer and Chemistry analyzer?

The difference between dry chemistry analyzer and the chemistry analyzer is the reagents used.


What assumption can you make about the amount of water vapor in the air if there is no difference between the wet and dry bulb readings of the psychrometer?

If there is no difference between the wet and dry bulb readings of the psychrometer, it can be assumed that the air is saturated with water vapor, meaning the relative humidity is 100%. This indicates that the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can at that temperature.


How do you calculate the difference between a dry bulb and a wet bulb?

To calculate the difference between a dry bulb and a wet bulb temperature, you measure both temperatures using a thermometer. The dry bulb temperature is the ambient air temperature, while the wet bulb temperature is measured with a thermometer that has its bulb moistened with water. The difference between these two temperatures indicates the level of humidity in the air; a larger difference suggests lower humidity, while a smaller difference indicates higher humidity. This calculation is often used in meteorology and HVAC applications.

It is saturated.


Difference between overhead and dry erase markers?

The ink used in dry-erase markers is almost identical to that used in permanent markers. It is comprised of colored pigments, a chemical solvent (like alcohol) and a polymer or "release agent." The type of polymer used marks the main difference between dry-erase and permanent markers. Unlike permanent markers, which use acrylic polymers to make the pigment stick to surfaces, dry-erase markers use an oily silicone polymer. The ink's slippery consistency prevents the colored pigment from coming in direct contact with the surface so it can easily be wiped off.
