This article explains how fog is produced when dry ice and water react. One might think that the fog is made by water in the atmosphere but Kuntzleman questioned this common thought’s validity and explored dry-ice + water=fog at the molecular level. His first step was to accurately measure fog density by using the following equation: fog density= -log (I/I_0 ) with “I_0 being the intensity of incident light and I being the intensity of light that travels through the fog” (Kuntzleman, 644). This allowed Kuntzleman to determine at what point fog had been made.
After taking the mass of water and combining a “dry ice pellet … the mass of the water in the cylinder is less than… at the beginning” (644). More experiments were completed with various
