What is dry ice and where can i get it
Answers:
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide and it is about 180 degrees below zero fahrenheit in temperature. It is most often used to keep frozen foods frozen like big wholesale containers of ice cream until they are going to be eaten. You can buy a pound maybe at an ice cream store chain if they feel like selling you a pound. Then you can take it home and put a penny on it and watch it freeze or put a little dry ice in a glass of water and watch the steam come out of the glass. It's fun but not too practical for home use and whatever you do. don't touch it or you will freeze your finger. They sell it to you wrapped in butcher paper usually.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. In our area in the Southwest many supermarkets sell it. Take a look in the phone book.
It is solid carbon dioxide at a temp of -110 degrees F.
It's frozen carbon dioxide, and you can usually get it from any outfit that sells regular ice.
frozen carbon-dioxide -110 degrees so cold that you need special gloves to handle it because it is so0o0o0o0 cold it will burn you! weird huh coldness freezing you.
Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide. It changes directly from a solid to a gas -sublimation- in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. Therefore it gets the name "dry ice."
Usually you can get it at the supermarket.
oh yeah, as someone else stated - don't handle it, it can burn you
Frozen carbon dioxide, try any place near your that packages food for shipment.
it is carbon dioxide in its solid state...where I live you can find it at Albertsons and some Ralph's....I would do a search of "dry+ice+(the area you are in)" and see what you get....
Yes it is frozen C02, 109 degrees below zero as mentioned above, it will burn you if hold it against your skin. You can sort of juggle it without grasping it and it will not burn you, but it would be best to use gloves. My husband works at a place where it is manufactured. They will sell it, and will cut it to your specifictions where he works. If you live near a factory such as this you may be able to get it there.
go to your local grocery store and ask them for dry ice ...but be sure you DO NOT TOUCH IT W/ BARE HANDS seriously you will get burned bbaadd.... if you add it to punch it will be misty and foggy best use is around halloween ... it will make things bubble too =)
