Question

Why dry ice sublime?

Answer 1

Answer:-

When energy is transferred to dry ice, the solid carbon dioxide does not melt to liquid carbon dioxide. Instead, the solid changes directly to a gas. This process is called sublimation. Sublimation occurs when molecules of a solid move fast enough to overcome the attractions from other molecules and become a gas.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Dry ice appears to give off smoke or fog as it warms up and the carbon dioxide stops being a solid and returns to being a gas. ... Water ice has to melt into a liquid form before it evaporates into gas. Dry ice sublimes directly back into a gas. And that sublimation process makes dry ice such an eerie special effect
