It's the flooding problem most of all. I'm in one of the few Manhattan co-ops that still allows washing machines and dryers and it's a wonderful thing to have it in my apartment. But many landlords, co-op board and condos don't permit them because of the flooding.
A couple of my friends and I made hot ice for our school science fair. We used sodium acetate. This project won first place at my schools science fair!!! Materials: Stove. Pot. A spoon. A glass cup. and Sodium acetate (you can find it online or in certain heat packs). How to do it: You heat water in a pot and put the sodium acetate in the water.
Dry ice is made of solid carbon dioxide (CO 2) while ice is made, of course, of solid water. Almost all substances have a freezing point which depends on their unique physical and chemical characteristics. I'm not sure,though, how well we understand why a particular substance has the exact melting point it does.nyway, dry ice is much, much colder because carbon dioxide freezes at a lower temperature:-79 degrees Celsius or -109 degrees Fahrenheit! It's very dangerous to handle dry ice because it will freeze your skin and cause frost bite in less than a minute, causing a painful dry ice burn.
