we’ve done some fun stuff with dryest in
the past today we’re gonna kind of push
that to a limit and see what happens if
we drop a lot of dry ice into some very
hot water we got a common request from
YouTube users cigar par Julie asking us
to boil dry ice to start out we want to
take a look at the difference between
putting dry ice in room-temperature
water and boiling hot water see if we
get a different result here’s the basic
idea
we’ll take dry ice and water and see
what gives us the best reaction and then
scale that up to put in there for 30
minutes it’s like 30 30 30
as your microwave had a bowl of water
explode inside it Cal is gonna show you
how to fix that cuz I don’t know
apparently she’s a microwave expert so
the first thing you want to do is go to
the store they sell microwave pick one
up and then you’re done yeah that’s it
that’s how you fix you microwave guys
[Music]
trying to just get two pieces that are
kind of the same that’s pretty close all
right you take one take one so this one
is super boiling hot and this one is
just tap water hot hot room temperature
that’s the word all right so we’re gonna
drop these into the count of three and
see if there’s a difference one two
three gee I wonder what the difference
there’s it there’s a bit of a difference
here so the dry ice in room-temperature
water it definitely still produces vapor
as you can see so hot water is making
the dry is actually sublimate faster in
this one but you’re still getting
bubbles in the room temperature you’re
actually getting more bubbles those were
about the same size and now from a hot
water we just have this tiny little chip
floating around the surface which I’m
trying to grab but it’s running away
from me come here are you so the cold
water definitely last lattes that’s our
dry ice left there and that’s our dry
ice left from the colder water so we are
going through our dries much faster with
the hot water and that entertaining oil
it’s just a vibrating on the counter so
boiling hot water definitely gets you a
lot more of a reaction that’s good
there’s one other thing I want to test
though and that is the surface area of
the dry ice going into hot water will
the same quantity of dry ice give us a
bigger reaction if we crush it up into
powder or is it better as a single block
I know okay these two chunks of dry ice
are about the same size now I’m gonna
chop one of them up and just break it up
until it’s a really fine powder and the
nope it was so angry about me I’ll do
that is just cool so right at the very
very beginning this had just a huge
plume and so quickly it dissipated and
now we’ve just got like this little low
bubbling coming out of it yeah but look
at the way it expands already honours
gone – I don’t know I kind of like I did
I did like the sudden explosive bit but
I’m liking how that just keeps pouring
stuff out more and more so maybe what we
need to do is both just have like a
large chunk and then also some powder
for just some extra explosiveness right
at the very beginning but I think we
also need to start scaling this up and
you may notice there’s a few sizes of
pots which one are we going away I think
we need to do let’s do them in order
[Applause]
that’s a terrible night okay we’ve got
our small pot that’s reached a rolling
boil and here we’ve got a good-sized
chunk of dry ice as well as some smaller
chunks and even some powdered bits down
at the bottom we’re just going to pour
all that in at once and see what kind of
explosive reaction we get whenever
you’re ready actually threw out a little
bit of water with it
oh good boiling water everywhere yeah
that’s actually warm that’s really cool
oh yeah the vapors coming off this is
quite warm it’s really hard to put dry
ice vapour in your mouth because for one
thing it’s like it’s fizzy like it makes
your mouth fizzy but your body doesn’t
want to breathe it in so it’s gonna try
and make you cough like that yeah if it
gets into your throat at all it’s just
your body seems like no don’t breathe
this in you die from this this is the
opposite of everything we wanted there
you go we’re gonna want to stand back a
little farther for bigger for the bigger
pot yeah we are that that started
throwing drops of water kind of right
away I want to know if the water is cool
enough to touch no it’s very it’s very
warm water well the house definitely
cooled down a lot we chopped up with a
that was really cool to watch the little
mini explosion and how much vapor we got
but we weren’t technically boiling the
dry ice we put the dry ice into boiled
water
let’s try actually boiling it let’s see
what it does all right we got more water
boiling on the stove we’ll see if it’s
any different if we actually leave it in
the boiling water oh good it does that
so that’s pretty much the same reaction
we were getting before so yeah it’s just
more consistent I think it yeah it’s
probably slowing down or it’s probably
staying hot a little bit longer not
cooling down quite as fast although you
can see we already have a different
reaction we’re no longer getting that
pillar rising up to the ceiling so I
think that means that the dry ice is
winning the fight between hot and cold
here so the water itself probably isn’t
even boiling anymore that’s a good way
to test this not yeah when I when I blow
all the vapor out of the way I can see
that there is bubbling right off of the
chunk of dry ice
but it’s not boiling the water anymore
you know we have this stove turned as
high as it goes here is the piece of dry
ice that has been boiling and I would
say that it looks pretty much just like
what it looked like before I went in
except now it’s a little bit smaller not
so boiling dry ice I mean you get a cool
explosive effect when it lands in the
boiling water but as soon as it cools
down you’re back to normal dry ice so I
think with our scaled up experiments we
will not leave things on the stove just
because it’s splashed water out with
both of the tests we’ve done so far and
I think we want to avoid splashing too
much water on the appliance and stuff so
we’re gonna take our boiling water and
same as we did with our first experiment
we’re gonna take them off the stove put
them on the hot pad and then put the dry
ice in over here three two one oh that
is everywhere holy cow Oh cow can you
see me right try and blow a smoke ring
it’s so warm and busy we got the same
explosion that we had before with the
big chunks but now we’re just at that
rolling sort of filling filling the room
with vapor kind of like and we should
make sure that we have a door open
because we are filling the room with
carbon dioxide we don’t want hypoxia
so I’m thinking that for our our Mongo
pot here we should probably take it
outside yeah and not stand near it gonna
be a lot funnier inside though that’s
true who has a bigger pot of boiling
water this is definitely safe yeah all
right you take one handle I got it ready
three two one I can’t see anything yet
whoa that is a weird sound dampening
effect like all the echo is gone I had
no idea it’s gonna take a shower this
morning
I can’t see a good white mark can you
see us I’m soaked yeah that did splash
the boiling water that was wow oh that
there’s mark here mark welcome back only
thank you for this wonderful idea but
there definitely is a temperature change
that’s insane
oh my gosh did it that shouldn’t launch
to fit some dry ice – oh it’s have you
seen before I’ve I hadn’t been able to
see the floor let’s get some towels
so thanks cigar for your suggestion
check your inbox we are sending you $25
for that shower remember if you’ve got
any cool ideas you want to see us try to
let us know down in the comments if we
use your idea to make a video we’ll send
you 25 bucks guys that’s all for today
but the fun doesn’t end here we’ve got
more for you to see the box up at the
top will take you directly to our last
video you should go check that out the
other box will show you what YouTube
thinks you should be watching next if
you hit this ball in the middle you’ll
be subscribed to the channel that way
you never miss out on the fun don’t
forget to ring that Bell and we will see
you in the next one talk to you then [Music]
