Are you saying that if I chill my water ice with liquid nitrogren or CO2, that ice will take longer to melt than either of those by themselves?

- wtallis 7y agoYes, but you'll use more than 2kg of LN2 or dry ice for each kg of water ice you chill down to those cryogenic temperatures.
- Scoundreller 7y agoMaybe. The -125C ice could melt faster if it and its container shatters into a billion pieces (a real risk if it’s dropped), massively increasing its surface area.
