Jul 18, 2024 · Here are several dry ice experiments for you to try: One of the simplest yet coolest things to do with dry ice is to toss a chunk of it into a container of hot water. This causes the dry ice to sublimate (turn into vapor) more quickly, producing dry ice fog. This is a popular party effect.

- Cool Dry Ice Fog. The easiest dry ice project is tossing dry ice into a container of hot water. The cold carbon dioxide vapor chills water vapor in the air, producing fog.
- Dry Ice Bubbles. Add a squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent to water before plopping in the dry ice. You’ll get a mountain of bubbles that release fog when they pop.
- Dry Ice Crystal Ball. Add a bit of liquid detergent to a bowl of water. Dampen your hand with the soapy water. You’ll get bubbles when you add the dry ice, but if you pass your hand over the rim of the bowl, you’ll get a large single bubble that resembles a foggy crystal ball.
- Frozen Soap Bubble. Blow bubbles into a container of dry ice. The bubbles float on the dense layer of cold carbon dioxide. Eventually, they freeze and form frost patterns.

Dry Ice is solid carbon dioxide frozen to -109 degrees (which will cause frostbite hence special handling needed). When added with liquids it creates a ghostly fogeffect and bubbling like a Witches’ Brew!
Dry Ice isavailable at most grocery stores:Safeway, Kroger/King Soopers, Walmart, Costco. Callahead to ensure your store carries it (and if they don’t ask if they know who does; you won’t be the first person asking). Go to the Customer Service departmentwhere they will ring up your purchase and retrieve the dry ice from a special freezer not availa...
Dry ice comes in blocks usually of between 1 to 5 pounds. You’ll be asked how much you want when purchasing. When using it for punch I generally buy a 1-pound block which costs between $1-$3. It’s often well more than is needed.
It immediately begins to evaporate so plan to use in within a few hours. By the next day it will have completely evaporated. Fun Fact: technically dry ice ‘sublimates’ not evaporates. But since most people have forgotten high school chemistry I’ll use ‘evaporated’ to convey the point. Halloween is a very popular time to buy dry ice. Should you be l...
Take a hard-sided cooler and towel to wrap it in. Do not store it in glass or metal containers. If you will handle it there, you’ll also need work gloves.
Do not plan to keep the cooler in a car for a lengthy trip. The evaporation begins immediately and the cooler will not contain allthe carbon dioxide. If traveling more than 15 minutes, keep windows open for good ventilation. Do not leave a person or pet in a closed car with dry ice. The CO2 gas evaporating from the dry ice could displace the oxygen...
Adding dry ice to liquids, water or drinks, causes the chemical reaction making the smoke. It must be added to liquid for the smoke to occur.
Dry Ice begins to smoke immediately when put in liquid. It’s great in a Halloween punch for that reason though the smoking only last 10-15 minutes’ish. Left unused it will evaporate within 24 hours.
Break up the block by hammering it through the towel it’s wrapped in while wearing work gloves. CAUTION: IT WILL BURN YOU so you can NEVER HANDLE IT WITH BARE HANDS. Please also if working around children be very careful of this as well.
I have several friends who are doctors and have consulted about any ill effect of food or drink that has been around dry ice. There is no issue with any sort of contamination though if drinking punch that has had dry ice in it be sure no little piece remain in the cup which could cause a burn.
