Dry ice is simply CO2(s), carbon is able to form molecular bonds only when the kinetic energy of the electrons approaches zero, (London Dispersion Force) hence the cold temperature of dry ice.
Most photosynthetic plants use it in the process of cell-respiration - they break down the molecule(s) with the water produced in PS, and use one carbon and oxygen as energy to break down the sugar they produce during PS, finally releasing the extra oxygen back into the environment. This is fortunate, as we breathe oxygen and release CO2, which the plants then use to break down their 'meal' of sugars.
If you want commercial uses...
Most life-jackets are filled with CO2, which allows for quick-deflation.
The soda you drink contains CO2, creating the bubbly fizz.
CO2 is used in the production of dry ice, which is either a halloween decoration, or a big chunk of ice that burns you if you touch it. -Shrug-
Baking: the release of carbon dioxide from sodium hydrogen carbonate expand the material.
Dry ice: solid carbon dioxide has a melting (sublimation) point of -78 0C.
It is used by sticking it up your bum hole and then licking it and then put it on your food.
Dry ice IS carbon dioxide, in solid form.
Carbon dioxide. Dry ice is made of nothing but carbon dioxide.
Solid carbon dioxide is dry ice.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2).
Solidified Carbon Di Oxide is commonly known as dry ice. At temperature below -78.5oC, carbon di oxide converts into dry ice through sublimation.
Carbon dioxide. Dry ice is made of nothing but carbon dioxide.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2).
Dry ice IS the solid form of carbon dioxide. And "dry ice" IS the common name for the solid CO2. So the question should be "What substance is the common name Dry Ice used for ? "
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, or in other words it is the solid form of carbon dioxide.
Yes, it is a compound, it is made of 2 different elements, it is solid carbon dioxide.
'Dry Ice' is frozen Carbon Dioxide.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.
Solid Carbon Dioxide is known as 'dry ice'.
because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice because of the carbon dioxide in the dry ice
Dry ice is not an element. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a compound.
Solid carbon dioxide is dry ice.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.
