Re: Tapping broken taps (a.k.a. I'm all tapped out)

Quote:
.. Dry ice is CO2 and carbonic acid is H2CO3, though. They wouldn't react in the same manner. In fact, dry ice would sublimate way too quickly to have any kind of reaction with a metal oxide
Carbonic acid is CO2 dissolved in water. Thus dropping dry ice into water will form the acid. I have seen this done before though I never knew that the acid was strong enough to do anything.
