With only a few simple items and a brief history of soda and dry ice, you know how they work and how to conduct your own at home science experiment.
Dry Ice is a cold, solid matter that many people are fascinated by. Carbon Dioxide is used to create this interesting matter. Dry ice first introduced itself and made history in the year 1835 by Charles Thilorier, a French chemist. He observed Carbon Dioxide in a canister made of metal, watching as the liquid evaporated. Once evaporated, Thilorier noticed that the liquid formed a solid block of dry ice. During the rest of the 19th century, solid CO2 has been observed in labs without it being used for everyday application until the year 1895. Carbon Dioxide is a tasteless, colourless, and odorless gas. Dry ice manufactured by using the carbon CO2 gas. The CO2 …show more content…
It only consists of a few items that are easy to purchase. Known as the “Dry Ice Challenge” over and across the internet, this has gained popularity. From science experiments to see if it works to famous YouTubers trying it. And lucky for them, it successfully worked! The necessary items needed are: dry ice, desired drinks (soda/juice), popsicle sticks, an empty soda can, and a glass of water. These items can be easily acquired at local stores, in your home, or where ever. The very first step to this procedure is to hollow out a reasonable sized indenture into the dry ice. This creates a small channel for the desired liquid. Step two is pour into your desired drink and add a popsicle stick. The step follow is to wait about 12 minutes to allow the liquid to freeze, since it has a lower freezing point. After it’s frozen, remove the popsicle and wash off the CO2 in the cup of water. And lastly, enjoy your dry ice
