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.
Sodium acetate or hot ice is an amazing chemical you can prepare yourself from baking soda and vinegar. You can cool a solution of sodium acetate below its melting point and then cause the liquid to crystallize. The crystallization is an exothermic process, so the resulting ice is hot. Solidification occurs so quickly you can form sculptures as you pour the hot ice.
Dry ice is also sometimes referred to as âcardiceâ or âcard iceâ. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide.Dry ice is used as a cooling agent. Because dry ice does not melt into a watery mess, but vanishes âinto thin airâ, many think that this convenience outweighs the expense. Dry ice, on average, costs roughly $.60 a pound.ry ice is used as a cooling agent.
