If you swallow dry ice, it would be bad to say the least, and could be a death sentence depending on the context and quantity. As soon as it has contact with your esophagus, you will receive considerable damage in the form of frostbite as it goes down. Once it reaches your stomach (if it gets that far- it has a habit of freezing the surrounding environment to the point that it stays in place-place it in water and watch it freeze a ice cap all around it self), it will start releasing amounts of CO2 in your stomach acid, you will in essence have lots of gas (burping continually). If it makes contact with your stomachs lining it could freeze a portion of it. If you were not in trouble before, you are now. This could result in serious ulcers that would need medical attention.
I could go on, but it would most likely turn into gas in your stomach doing massive amounts of damage to any lining it touches. This entire process would be painful until the nerves themselves are frozen. Either way, swallowing dry ice is more of a nightmare than a stupid idea.

What is dry ice called so?
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.
What is the common name for dry ice?
Dry ice IS the solid form of carbon dioxide. And "dry ice" IS the common name for the solid CO2. So the question should be "What substance is the common name Dry Ice used for ? "
How much does a gal of frozen CO2 weigh?
The density of dry ice is about 1.5 g cm-3. Since there are 3785 cm3 in a gallon, a gallon of dry ice would weigh about 5.8 kg.
How did dry ice get its name?
It is called "dry" because when heat is given, it sublimes (turns from a solid into a gas). This is different from actual ice that turns from a solid to a liquid. It is called "ice" because solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is very cold, similar to ice.
What will happen to a sealed ballon that contain dry ice if the balloon is left at room temperature?
If the ice melts, then because of the density of water, it will implode (Explode INWARD) because of the less particles in the liquid.
What would happen to dry ice if we would leave it out?
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide- it evaporates ito gaseous form if you leave it out. That is why it is "dry".
How would dry ice react when more dry ice is added?
When more dry ice is added to a container with existing dry ice, it will sublimate and create more carbon dioxide gas. This can cause an increase in pressure inside the container, potentially leading to a build-up of gas. It is important to handle dry ice with caution in a well-ventilated area to prevent any safety hazards.
Is there any chemical change that can happen to dry ice?
no.
What would happen to a young person who only ate hot dogs and ice cream?
They would run a considerable risk of suffering poor health due to malnutrition.
What will happen to dry Ice in water?
is cinnomin the strongest spice in the world
Can you reuse dry ice?
If you mean the dry ice bomb as in putting dry ice in a bottle and sealing it, and then having it explode, then no. The bottle and the dry ice cannot be reused from the Dry Ice Bomb. The reasoning is that the Dry Ice would have already used enough of its fuel to try to explode the bottle that no fuel is left to explode another, and the bottle would be ripped in half by the Dry Ice inside, so the bottle cannot be reused.
Is dry ice used in skating rinks?
Yes and No at the same time because if it was real ice it would melt. But if it was dry ice we would not be able to skate on it.
Would you die if you ate ice melting chemicals?
yes
What happen if you heat dry ice to 50C?
Frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) will turn back to a gas when heated at any temperature above freezing.
Would using dry ice in a bowl cause it to become watery?
Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide, which at room temperature is a gas. During the melting process, there would be a time during which the dry ice would be liquid, however the amount of liquid would be minimal. Sources: Wikipedia entry for "Dry ice"
If dry ice were left for hours what would it be?
Dry ice is transformed in carbon dioxide gas by sublimation.
What phase changes happen to dry ice?
Sublimation: from solid directly to gas.
