Carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a gas at room temperature, will become a liquid and then a solid as we cool it more and more. The solid form of this substance is commonly called dry ice. We also know it is one of the few substances that will not melt and become a liquid. Instead, it will sublime and change state directly into a gas from its solid form.

Carbon dioxide is cold after it comes out of the can because it can not exist for long in liquid and or solid form at room temperature. The CO2 is compressed until it is in liquid form.

when it is released it requires energy to change from a liquid to a gas. Some of the CO2 will instantly change to a gas and cool the remaining CO2 to a solid form, or CO2 snow.

If it gets cold enough, it will condense into liquid (at different temperatures depending on the gas in question.) If you cool that even more, it will become solid.

The freezing point of carbon dioxide is -78 0C; under this temperature it is a solid. Carbonic acid is the solution of CO2 in water.
