What happens if you put regular ice in a tub with "Dry Ice?"?

Answer 1

Regular (water) ice will almost certainly be at a much higher temperature than dry (carbon dioxide) ice. This will cause the dry ice to sublimate, possibly with some water mist swirling about.

If the water ice happens to be at the same temperature as the dry ice, the dry ice will sublimate slowly. Once it is all gone, the water ice will raise in temperature slowly until it melts.

Note: Dry ice does not melt at standard atmospheric pressure. It sublimates, turning from a solid into a gas without forming a liquid state.

Answer 2

Since "Dry Ice" is only the solid phase of Carbon Dioxide, and has a temperature of about -110 degrees, the only thing that dry ice will do to regular ice is make it colder. It will make it colder only until a) the temperature of the regular ice equalizes with the dry ice or b) the dry ice liquefies (melts) and evaporates, then the regular ice will melt also.

Answer 3

Due to their difference in temperature, the water ice will warm (heat) the dry ice and the dry ice will cool the water ice. The result is that the water ice will get extremely cold and the dry ice will sublime.

Answer 4

Not much. The dry ice will cause the water ice to become colder than it was, and in the process carbon dioxide sublimes from the dry ice.

Answer 5

I have done something similair.
The ice may melt at certain areas but the water will refreez until the dry ice has been exhausted. When the dry ice is still present however, the ice will slowly melt slightly and then refreez so your ice will be of rounder shape

Answer 6

All that happens is that the ice gets much colder than it was already. If it cooled VERY rapidly it might crack.

Answer 7

Not a whole lot. You get a thick fog it is really cool. Been there done that.

Answer 8

well, it depends

maybe it is just going to be cold....very cold

Answer 9

madness
