i know from my own test when i pressurized a 2 litter caped with a hole in cap and atubeless tire valve stem attached to the cap then with compressed air the bottle exploded every time at 195 lbs did the test with 2 and 3 litter bottles about 5 times always the same 195 lbs psi . WHAT I WANT TO FIND OUT IS WHAT THE TOTAL CAPABLE PSI DRY ICE WILL CREATE IN A CANISTER THAT CAN HOLD IT .. MY IDEA IS TAKING A SMALL AIR POWERED MOTOR AND PROPEL IT WITH DRY ICE SIMILAR TO THE STEAM ENGINE

Use the Ideal Gas Law to determine how much pressure is achieved in a given volume and quantity.

Ice, technically, may be any one of the 15 known crystalline phases of water. We typically see materials change their state at normal atmospheric pressure. Changing the surrounding pressure will change the temperature at which a material will go from one state to another. The reason is because the molecules causing the pressure inhibit the molecules of the material.

At pressures below and temperatures above the Triple Point, the change of state will skip the liquid phase and go directly from solid to gas. This is often seen with Dry Ice, where it will change directly from a solid to CO2 gas. Changing the surrounding pressure will change the temperature that a material will go from one state to another. This is because the molecules causing the pressure inhibit the molecules of the material.

Bottom line, dry ice can form liquid, it does melt like regular ice, but not in normal conditions, at normal atmospheric pressure. It does not melt because unless the atmospheric pressure is five times higher, carbon dioxide sublimates, going directly from solid to gas. Due to this quality, when a package is shipped with a block of dry ice, it will arrive safe and unaltered; the block of dry ice will only be smaller, but not melted.

How does a dry steam cleaner work?

A dry steam cleaner works by turning water into dry steam vapor. The cleaner heats water under high pressure which turns the water into a vapor that has very little moisture.


Can dry ice explode?

Dry ice bombs are usually created from a container like plastic bottles, water, and dry ice. The solid carbon dioxide becomes warmer resulting to increase in pressure and limited room to expand.


What is the most common state of dry ice?

Dry ice is nothing but the solid CO2 , When CO2 is compressed under high pressure, it first come to liquid state and when more pressure is applied on it, it becomes solid. This solid is called as Dry Ice. Thus we can say that dry ice in solid state

How do you find the calorific value of a given sample of wood?

Weigh some 'oven dry' wood, which has had all it's moisture driven off, then use a bomb calorimeter to find out how much energy is released when it is burnt. You can use this to find out a value for how much energy is released (in MJ) per kg.

Why does your nose bleed when you laugh?

Most likely dry air. Or a build up of too much pressure.


What is dry ice what will happen when the pressure is released on dry ice?

solid carbon dioxide (CO2) is stored under high pressure. Solid CO2 gets converted directly to gaseous state on decrease of pressure to 1 atmosphere without coming into liquid state. This is the reason that solid carbon dioxide is also known as dry ice

How much trouble can you get in for making dry ice bombs?

You can get into legal trouble if you injure someone with it, or if the place you live in does not allow dry ice bombs, such as Utah. If a dry ice bomb is legal in your country and you didn't hurt anyone with it, you can be fairely out of the woods, if no one complains about the noise. Dry ice bombs sounds like a gunshot.

Is atmospheric pressure higher on a rainy day or dry day?

I think is dry day has a higher pressure than rainy day.


Where there is higher pressure on the earth at that point will it be more moist or more dry?

High pressure is associated with fair dry weather and Sunshine.
