Question

(B) Table surface will become wet after sometime.
(C) Table surface will remain dry.
(D) Table surface will get hot

Answer 1

Answer:

Table surface will become wet after sometime

Answer 2

Answer:

(D)

Explanation:

Dry Ice does not melt (solid, liquid, gas), it sublimates; it goes straight from a solid to a gas. The warmer the temperature, the quicker it sublimates. That's why putting dry ice in a bowl of warm water causes it to sublimate faster than just letting it sit on the table.
