no you have to freeze it to make it solid. it is really cold and you should try to make ice cream with it it really works
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide goes from a solid phase to a gaseous phase without becoming a liquid and that transition is called sublimation.
Gas -> liquid = condinsation Liquid -> solid = solidification Solid -> liquid = fusion Liquid -> gas = evaporation Solid directly to gas (with out becoming liquid) = sublimation Example = dry ice at room temperature.
By evaporation
Dry air is a gas
SUBLIMATION: It is a process in which a solid instead of changing into liquid state changes directly into gaseous state upon heating. MELTING: It is a process in which a solid at its melting point changes into liquid state upon heating.
Condensation is changing from a gas to a liquid. In sublimation, substance goes directly from solid to gas without ever becoming a liquid. Moth balls and dry ice both do that.
Solids typically melt to liquids before boiling into a gas. However, when a solid goes directly from a solid to a gas, the process is called sublimation. Iodine and dry ice are two common examples of substances that sublimate at room temperature.
by crystalization
Dry ice is not a liquid. It is a solid form of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide changes from a gas to a solid at low temperatures, under pressure.
No, because dry ice is a solid and you cannot place a solid inside a solid. If it was liquid carbon dioxide (as opposed to dry ice, solid carbon dioxide) then it would behave similarly.
sublimation Sometimes solids can change directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first. The most common substance that goes directly from solid to gas is Carbon Dioxide. It goes directly from solid (dry ice) to gas.
When A Solid Changes Directly To A Gas With Out Going To A Liquid First It Is Called Sublimation. There is one common object that performs sublimating, and that is dry ice.
