No, dry ice isn't a gas. It's the solid form of carbon dioxide, and it is a very good example of sublimation, which is when a solid state (dry ice) changes directly to a gas state (carbon dioxide) without first changing into a liquid state.

∙ 13y agoDry ice turns to gas through a process called Sublimation. This is when a solid turns directly in to a gas, bypassing the liquid state.
Dry ice is nothing more than frozen carbon dioxide. In earth's atmospheric pressure, carbon dioxide can only exist as gas and solid.

∙ 14y agoSublimation is the process in which a solid turns into a gas, skipping the liquid phase.
Dry ice is a perfect example of this. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. As it is exposed to room temperature, which is higher then what it needs to be to keep a stable solid form, it turns directly into a gas skipping the liquid form, since the liquid form also requires an extremely low temperature.

∙ 13y agoNo. Dry Ice is solid Carbon Dioxide, in a supercooled state. At atmospheric pressure (aka on earth, as long as you're not in a lab, the ocean, or in an airplane), the solid carbon dioxide sublimes to the gaseous form. Sublimation is when the solid form of a compound undergoes a phase change from solid to gas without having an intermediate liquid form. Sublimation at atmospheric pressure is not a common trait of compounds, and carbon dioxide is the best example of it.
Imagine if your ice cubes turned into steam without becoming water first. Seems unlikely, right? But at the right pressure it can happen.
Refer to a phase diagram for Carbon Dioxide to see why it can sublime at atmospheric pressure (p=1atm), and how the phase transitions change at different temperatures and pressures.

Ice from water can turn into gas by first turning into liquid water.

∙ 12y agoNo. Dry ice goes through sublimation. That is; it goes from a solid directly to gas. Once it has enough energy to turn into a gas it will dissipate into the atmosphere.

Why does the transfer of thermal energy through conduction happens more quickly in a solid than it does in a gas?
Liqiud water can turn to ice faster than it can turn to gas. It can boil faster than it can freeze though.
Can carbon dioxide change directly from the solid phase to the gas phase?
Yes, solid carbon dioxide (dry ice), like water ice, can sublimate - that is, turn directly from a solid to a gas.
Three examples of physical changes are?
liquid to solid, solid to liquid, gas to liquid that sort of thing
What is the term for the process of a solid such as dry ice going directly from a solid to a gas?
The transition of a substance directly from the solid state to gas (such as dry ice to gas) is called "sublimation".
Is it true that gas absorbs energy as it changes into a liquid?
When a gas changes to a liquid, it goes through the process of Condensation. This is when the gas cools and loses energy. Then the particles are forced to change state, from a gas to a liquid.
How do you turn a ice into a gas?
put the ice in boiling water and wait.
What is the only gas that can turn into a solid?
A gas can't turn directly into a solid but a solid can turn into gas for example ice to water vapor.
What does ice-cream turn into when it evaporates?
into a gas
What gas does dry ice turn into?
carbon dioxide gas. im sure :)
Upon heating ice can melt and turn into a gas this is an example off?
The change of ice to a liquid is melting; the direct change of ice to a gas is sublimation.
What is the changing state of phase?
The change of phase or state is when a liquid, gas, or solid change its form! liquid can turn into a solid (ice) or a gas (steam). Gas can turn into a liquid (water).But there are some exceptions to this rule , such as dry ice. Dry ice turns directly into a gas.
What solid can turn into a gas without becoming a liquid?
ice can
Does water always turn into ice when its cold?
no. Ice can evaporate into a gas by melting into water and turning into a gas when more heat is added. Gas can be hot or cold
Why does dry ice turn into gas more quickly when it is in water?
Because dry ice evaporates.
How Can a solid can turn a gas?
The gas in a gas stove can heat up ice until it melts into water and then evaporates into water vapor.
What are examples of solid turning into a gas?
Ice melting and evaporating.
How could you demonstrate that gas has mass?
A perfect example would be boiling ice and watch it turn to gas.
