Both dry ice and ice have cold temperatures and are commonly used for freezing and cooling. Ice forms at 32°F while dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Water ice is created when water is exposed to very low temperatures while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Their main difference however lies in the fact that regular water ice melts into liquid while dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas

How did dry ice get its name?

It is called "dry" because when heat is given, it sublimes (turns from a solid into a gas). This is different from actual ice that turns from a solid to a liquid. It is called "ice" because solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is very cold, similar to ice.


What is dry ice made from and what is the difference between dry ice and regular ice cubes?

Dry ice frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), it is created when CO2 is released in a high-pressure container that results to the cooling of liquid to freezing point. Dry ice sublimates directly from solid gas and has the temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Both dry ice and ice have cold temperatures and are commonly used for freezing and cooling. Ice forms at 32°F while dry ice forms at minus 109.3°F. Water ice is created when water is exposed to very low temperatures while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Their main difference however lies in the fact that regular water ice melts into liquid while dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas.
