The density of dry ice is around 1.5 g/cm³, which makes it significantly heavier than most other solid materials at room temperature.
Dry ice is heavier than water. This high density value means that dry ice sinks quickly to the bottom of liquids, where it can create an impressive mist. This property is often used in the catering industry to create exciting visual effects in cocktails or other drinks. Dry ice is also used in event technology to create fascinating clouds of fog on stages and enhance the ambience.
The density of dry ice also has implications for storage and transportation. As it remains at temperatures below -78.5°C, handling and storage in suitable containers may be necessary to transport the material safely and maintain the cold. It is advisable to store heavier quantities of dry ice in special containers designed for use to ensure safety and efficiency.
The density of dry ice remains relatively constant over a certain temperature range. However, changes in temperature can also affect the properties of the dry ice, especially during the sublimation process. It is important to use and store dry ice in well-ventilated rooms, as the gaseous CO₂ can be harmful to health in high concentrations.
