Solid carbon dioxide is known as "dry ice" because carbon dioxide as itself cannot exist in liquid form. Therefore, the ice is "dry," which is why it's called "dry ice."

It looks like ice and it keeps things cold but it isn't wet.

Is a white solid at room temperature a property of carbon dioxide?

No, a white solid at room temperature is not a property of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure. However, when cooled or subjected to high pressure, carbon dioxide can exist as a solid, known as dry ice, which is typically white and sublimates at room temperature. Therefore, while it can form a white solid under specific conditions, it is not a property of carbon dioxide at room temperature.
