What is the most common state of dry ice?

Dry ice is nothing but the solid CO2 , When CO2 is compressed under high pressure, it first come to liquid state and when more pressure is applied on it, it becomes solid. This solid is called as Dry Ice. Thus we can say that dry ice in solid state


What is a substance that pass from solid state to a liquid state without the gaseous state?

the process is called sublimation. dry ice or solid co2 goes from dry ice(solid) to a gas


What is the chemical name of dry ice. why is it called dry ice. Is dry ice is same as the ordinary ice?

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It is called dry ice because it does not melt when it heats up, it goes directly from solid to gas. It is NOT the same as ordinary ice, which is of course, solid water. Dry ice is much colder than ordinary ice.

Is dry ice a solid or a liquid?

Dry ice is the solid form (state of matter) of carbon dioxide (CO2).Under normal circumstances, it will change state from a solid directly to a gas. It does this without melting (changing state to a liquid). We call the direct transformation of a solid to a gas sublimation, and dry ice is said to sublime when going directly from its solid state to a gas.


How can gaseous carbon dioxide be converted into dry ice?

Carbon dioxide turns into what is known as "dry ice" which is fact solid carbon dioxide. It changes directly from a solid to a gas at about -56°C under normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. This process is known as sublimation.


Do regular and dry ice melt in the same way?

Regular ice is frozen, solid water. When s temperature rises, it turns to water: a liquid. Dry is solid carbon dioxide. When its temperature rises, it becomes a gas instead of first turning to a liquid.


What states can dry ice be found in?

Solid. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide( what you mainly breath out) , it is like asking: what states are there for steam? Steam is defined as water as a gas, the same kind of thing is with dry ice exept it's a solid for carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can be solid, liquid or gas, the solid is made by making the gas a liquid by compression then to a solid by freezing.


What is the problem question about dry ice bubbles?

Dry ice is colder than regular ice and if you touch it ,it will hurt. Dry ice is solidified Carbon Dioxide, and it does not go from solid state to liquid state - it goes from solid state to gaseous state through a process called sublimation.
