    The most amazing thing about dry ice is that it does not become liquid, but directly into gas, which is where its name comes from, and it is also one of the hottest substances on Earth. So what happens if you swallow a piece of dry ice?Will the gas produced be able to blow you up?

    What damage can be done to your **?Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide that maintains a temperature of minus 78 degrees Celsius, and is also very common in daily life, and is often used in food, cocktails, and ice cream. If it's just a small dose mixed with other foods, eating some won't have much effect.

    But when you swallow a whole piece of dry ice in your stomach, what does the result look like?

    What happens if you put a piece of dry ice in your mouth and eat it in your stomach?When the dry ice enters the mouth, instantly, you can feel the stinging sensation transmitted from the tongue and oral tissues, and soon there will be a numbness sensation, and there are teeth, most people have had the feeling of frostbite on their teeth when eating sorbet, do you remember that sourness?Eating dry ice is much more serious than that, it only takes a few seconds for your fragile mouth to freeze, and the longer the dry ice stays in your mouth, the more frostbite will get worse, but it's time to swallow it.

    After dry ice enters the esophagus, it creates a stinging sensation that goes all the way down into the stomach. Because of the temperature of the stomach, dry ice will start to heat up and produce gaseous carbon dioxide.

    You know, the gaseous state is much larger than the solid state. These gases will stretch your stomach and you will feel bloated, but this is just the beginning. Ultra-low temperatures can frostbite your stomach walls and cause you immense pain.

    Luckily, the gas in your body can be discharged through your mouth or underneath, which can reduce some of the stress. If you don't stop at this time, but continue to eat dry ice, then more and more gas will be produced, and the low temperature will directly freeze the stomach and lose its elasticity. As the pressure increases, there is a chance that your stomach lining will rupture, and in severe cases, it may even cause death.

    And in the process, I feel my stomach being stretched up little by little, and you can imagine how painful it will be. So it's nice to look at, even though it can create fairyland-like beauty. But it's not suitable for touch.

    When dry ice enters everyone's mouth, it starts to absorb heat from the person's mouth. At this time, you will not only feel cool, but even foggy. However, after the past few seconds, you will feel a little tingling.

    This is the low temperature caused by dry ice stinging your mouth. As time goes on, it will hurt more and more, but at this point you don't want to spit out the dry ice, so just swallow the rest of the dry ice directly into your stomach. When you swallow, you will feel a cold current running down your esophagus towards your stomach, and dry ice will repeat the process in your mouth.

    Summary. Dry ice is inedible, dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, under the pressure of kilopascals, the carbon dioxide is condensed into a colorless liquid, and then quickly solidified under high pressure to obtain.

    Can dry ice be edible, either by eating it directly, or by putting it in food.

    Dry ice is inedible, dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, under the pressure of kilopascals, the carbon dioxide is condensed into a colorless liquid, and then quickly solidified under high pressure to obtain.

    Not to be eaten directly.

    Not to be eaten directly.

    Carbon dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas that occurs naturally in the air, and although the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is relatively small, it is one of the most important gases we recognize.

    Can I use it after sublimation in food?

    It's not okay to eat it directly, dear.

    Dry ice is highly volatile and sublimated into a non-toxic, odorless, and 600-800 times larger gas carbon dioxide than the solid volume, so dry ice cannot be stored in a fully sealed volume container, such as a plastic bottle, and it is easy to mix dry ice with liquid**.

    No, dear.

    Why? Because the sublimated carbon dioxide will be denser than oxygen, it will squeeze out the oxygen, which may cause shortness of breath or even suffocation.

    After the sublimation, the gas is gone, is it okay for me to eat something that is iced?

    No, dear.

    Put the dry ice around the food, the dry ice melts and sublimates when exposed to heat to form a large number of smoke effects, rendering effect, the guests in the process of tasting the food, give the guests a warm, romantic, dreamlike effect, because the dry ice will not produce water in the sublimation, so there will be no pollution to the food.

    In addition to making delicious food, dry ice can also be placed in the drink, you can put a small amount of dry ice in the drink, there will be smoke in the water immediately, it is beautiful, there will be smoke on the top of the water, you can taste it with a straw, it can play a chilling effect, it is a good way to relieve the heat and cool down in summer.

    What are the uses of dry ice?

    1. It is used to refrigerate food

    Since dry ice is a good coolant, it can form a lower temperature environment when preserving food, which is conducive to food storage.

    2. It is used to make stage effects

    Since dry ice can be directly elevated into low-temperature, dry carbon dioxide gas, it can form a virtual cloud effect, which is often used for stage performances.

    3. Used for industrial cleaning

    Since dry ice is easy to rise, it can be used in industrial production to clean dirt on the surface of molds, etc., without damaging equipment.

    4. It is used for life cleaning

    Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) floats clothes in the air and washes them in a matter of minutes without the need for water.

    Solid dry ice cannot be eaten directly because the temperature of dry ice is very, very low, and if you put it in your mouth, frostbite can occur.

    However, now dry ice is often used as an auxiliary substance for some foods, and the dry ice at this time is not directly edible, but when the dry ice is sublimated into gas, it undergoes physical changes and plays an auxiliary role.

    For example, when dry ice is sublimated into gas, it absorbs a lot of heat, so that the water vapor becomes small water droplets, producing a white mist, which looks very dreamy; When we eat in a restaurant, the phenomenon of white mist on some dishes is also the same principle; After adding dry ice to ice cream, the ice cream is not easy to melt, and it is also because of the principle that dry ice sublimation will absorb a lot of heat, so dry ice is often used in the refrigeration and transportation of ice cream.

The temperature of dry ice is as low as -78 degrees, and the lips will get frostbite when touched, the mouth will be frostbitten, and in severe cases, the mouth will be paralyzed.

    Food-grade dry ice made of high-purity carbon dioxide is edible, but you must not put the dry ice directly in your mouth, if you eat it directly, your mouth will not open, and you will not be able to spit it out, so you can only go to the hospital for rescue.

    Remember to use caution and use thick gloves or other coverings every time you touch dry ice. If it is in direct contact with the skin for a long time, it may cause cell freezing and damage similar to mild or extremely severe frostbite.
