Production of dry ice

Experiment no.: 8.9.3
Erzeugung von Trockeneis
Sudden opening of the valve on a compressed gas cylinder filled with CO2 at room temperature causes a stream of CO2 to be expelled. This results in the gas cooling such that it freezes, forming dry ice.

Caution: Experiment with possible hearing damage!
Personal protective equipment necessary!
