Dry Ice – Part 1
You’re in a spooky haunted house.
You turn the corner and enter a room
full of rolling fog. You feel a chill run
up your spine. But… wait a minute!
It’s not really fog. It’s dry ice! That’s
not something to be afraid of.
Water is pretty predictable. It
freezes to a solid, which is ice. Ice
can melt to a liquid, water. Water can
evaporate, becoming water vapor.
Water vapor can condense to a
liquid. Dry ice is a little different. It
doesn’t melt like regular ice cubes
would at room temperature. At room
temperature, dry ice goes from a
solid straight to a gas! This is called
sublimation.
But what is dry ice? Dry ice is made of
carbon dioxide. We normally think of
carbon dioxide as a gas. We breathe it
out. Plants use it to make oxygen. But
in dry ice, carbon dioxide is a solid.
It’s frozen at about -109 degrees
Fahrenheit, or -78 degrees Celsius.
Making dry ice isn’t just pouring water
into a tray and putting it in the
freezer. You have to cool it and
pressurize it. Then it becomes a liquid.
After it’s a liquid, it is depressurized
and goes back to a gas. It gets cold
very fast, and becomes snow-like.
This snowy substance is compressed
into chunky blocks.

Dry Ice – Part 2
Where and how do we use dry ice?
Well, you’ve probably seen it in
spooky settings like haunted houses
or horror movies. It can be used in
shipping, if you need to transport
something that needs to stay cold.
You can use it in food storage. It can
have medical uses.
It isn’t always safe, though! You
have to be careful with dry ice. If
you touch it with your skin, you can
get frostbite instantly. It can also
damage your lungs if you breathe in
the carbon dioxide in high amounts.
Make sure you stay safe if you’re
exposed to dry ice by not touching it
directly, and not exposing yourself
for too long!
