Question

why is solid carbindioxide called dry ice

Answer 1

Answer:

Dry Ice is the common name for solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It gets this name because it does not melt into a liquid when heated; instead, it changes directly into a gas (a process known as sublimation).

Answer 2

Dry Ice is generally named for solid carbon dioxide (CO2). This is called as solid carbon dioxide because it does not melt into a liquid when heated. it changes directly into a gas (a process known as sublimation). Dry Ice is manufactured by compressing and cooling gaseous CO2 under high pressure to initially produce liquid CO2.Due to its extremely low temperature of -78°c, dry ice is often used as an alternative to refrigeration for foodstuffs and medical supplies.
