Nobody created dry ice; it occurs naturally.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas in our atmosphere created by animals (we exhale carbon dioxide) and chemical processes (fire creates carbon dioxide, so any fuel-burning process like running a car generates carbon dioxide).
Carbon dioxide freezes at -78.5 degrees Celsius, or about -110 degrees Fahrenheit. Frozen carbon dioxide at atmospheric pressure (normal air pressure) doesn't melt like ice does. Most familiar solids (like ice) melt into liquid (water), and if we heat them even more we can boil the liquid into gas (steam). But liquid carbon dioxide isn't very stable at low pressure - the forces that hold the molecules together in liquid form are very weak, and unless the molecules are forced tightly together by high pressure they will fly apart into a gas state.
This is why dry ice makes a fog: it goes from a solid directly into a gas form without ever becoming a liquid. This process is called sublimation.
Dry ice is natural, but it doesn't naturally come into those nicely shaped blocks and pellets. There are plenty of factories that specialize in making dry ice in bulk and selling it. Nevertheless, no human "created" dry ice.
glaciers are the first ice cubes, so think about that one...
Dry ice was not inveted. Dry ice was discovered in 1834 by a French Chemist Thomas Thilorier.
Dry ice is made by cooling carbon dioxide to its solid state.
Dry ice was discovered rather than invented. It was first discovered by Charles Thilorier a French chemist in 1834.

Charles Thilorier opened a canister of liquid carbon dioxide and saw the structure.
Dry ice is pure Carbon dioxide.

Use modeling clay to shape a volcano, then fill it with water and when you are giving your presentation, drop dry ice in it, it will begin to make fog.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, totally different from ordinary ice, which is frozen water. Dry ice is much colder than water ice, thus evaporates quicker at room temperature. DO NOT TOUCH DRY ICE! It can hurt you badly.
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.
Yes, you can put dry ice in salt water. It will bubble furiously and cool down the salt water.
Dry ice doesn't melt. It sublimates at -78 0C, or -109 0F. Sublimation is a direct transition from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase.
ice is slippery and dry ice is not because ice dosent dry out when the sun hits it and dry ice does!
a molecular solid...
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.
Yes, dry ice is opaque.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.
Do you sell dry ice
Simple. You keep ice in dry ice. But be careful not to eat dry ice!
Dry ice freezes and the wet ice and everything keeps cool and chilled but not frozen..obvousliy.
Dry ice is not an element. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a compound.
Solidified Carbon Di Oxide is commonly known as dry ice. At temperature below -78.5oC, carbon di oxide converts into dry ice through sublimation.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide.
No need to cool dry ice.
