Description
Summary:Prof. Hal Sosabowski reveals the explosive power of subliming dry ice, in this demonstration to show that gases take up much more space than solids. As dry ice turns directly from a solid into a gas, its volume tries to increase dramatically creating enough pressure to explode a plastic bottle. Those bottles can take a lot of pressure, and the result is an amazingly loud bang. Prof. Hal Sosabowski is a committed chemistry educator, evangelist and communicator. Hal shows us how to safely recreate his inspirational demonstrations, which are both educational and spectacular.
