Chemical Reactions for Haunted Houses
As Halloween approaches, haunted houses and spooky decorations fill the streets. But did you know that the eerie atmosphere can be enhanced with a sprinkle of science?Â
One of the most effective ways to create a spine-chilling atmosphere is through fog, and one simple chemical reaction can help you achieve this: dry ice in water. When you add dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) to warm water, it sublimates, which means it turns directly from a solid to a gas, completely bypassing the liquid phase. This process creates a thick, billowing fog that can easily transform any space into a haunted setting.
