When dry ice is warmed at 1 atm of pressure, it goes back to its gaseous state or form.
At -20 degrees Celsius and 1 ATM pressure, carbon dioxide is in the solid phase (dry ice), as it undergoes direct sublimation from a gas to a solid at temperatures below its sublimation point.
The triple point of Carbon Dioxide is 216.58 K (-56.57 °C), 518.5 kPa (5.117197 atm) so pushing the pressure higher and the temperature lower shifts it solidly into the solid phase. Another way of checking it is to note that the vapor pressure of solid Carbon Dioxide at -60 °C is 4.043 atm so increasing the pressure to 15 atm would certainly push it further into the solid phase.
At Earth's standard pressure (1 atmosphere or atm), dry ice sublimes at −78.5 °C , which is −109.3 °F.
Dry ice can be melted into liquid form at pressure over 5.11 times atmospheric pressure. Reference the Phase Diagram of Carbon Dioxide at http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~cchieh/cact/c123/phasesdgm.html (If that page is no longer available, search for the keywords "phase diagram" & "carbon dioxide") In that diagram, X is the triple-point. This is the pressure (5.11 atm) and temperature (-56.4C) at which the solid, liquid and gaseous phases for CO2 co-exist. At below that pressure (as Y with 1 atm,) CO2 changes from solid to gas as temperature increases. At above that pressure (as Z with 73 atm,) solid CO2 melts into liquid before changing to gas as temperature increases.
To find the volume of the dry gas at standard conditions (0°C and 1 atm), we need to correct for the water vapor using the vapor pressure of water at 20°C. The vapor pressure of water at 20°C is 17.5 mm Hg. Therefore, the pressure of the dry gas is 622.0 mm Hg (total pressure) - 17.5 mm Hg (water vapor pressure) = 604.5 mm Hg. Using the ideal gas law, we can calculate the volume of the dry gas at standard conditions.
When dry ice is warmed at 1 atm of pressure, it sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state. This means it goes from a solid CO2 to gaseous CO2 without melting into liquid CO2 first.
At -60°C and 1 ATM pressure, carbon dioxide is in the solid phase, commonly known as dry ice. This is because the phase diagram for CO2 shows that below its triple point (approximately -56.6°C at about 5.1 ATM), carbon dioxide cannot exist as a liquid at 1 ATM pressure. Therefore, at -60°C and 1 ATM, CO2 is solid.

Dry ice is a solid form of any gas
At Earth's standard pressure (1 atmosphere or atm), dry ice sublimes at −78.5 °C , which is −109.3 °F.
Dry ice can be melted into liquid form at pressure over 5.11 times atmospheric pressure. Reference the Phase Diagram of Carbon Dioxide at http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~cchieh/cact/c123/phasesdgm.html (If that page is no longer available, search for the keywords "phase diagram" & "carbon dioxide") In that diagram, X is the triple-point. This is the pressure (5.11 atm) and temperature (-56.4C) at which the solid, liquid and gaseous phases for CO2 co-exist. At below that pressure (as Y with 1 atm,) CO2 changes from solid to gas as temperature increases. At above that pressure (as Z with 73 atm,) solid CO2 melts into liquid before changing to gas as temperature increases.
In dry air, nitrogen constitutes about 78% of the atmosphere by volume. Therefore, at 1 atmosphere pressure, the partial pressure of nitrogen would be 0.78 atm. This is calculated by multiplying the total pressure by the mole fraction of nitrogen in air.
At 12 ATM pressure and -40°C, carbon dioxide exists in a solid state, commonly known as dry ice. At this temperature and pressure, carbon dioxide does not enter a liquid phase; instead, it sublimates directly from solid to gas when it warms up. The critical point for carbon dioxide is around 31°C and 73 ATM, meaning that under the specified conditions, it cannot be in liquid form.
The triple point of Carbon Dioxide is 216.55 K (−56.60 °C) and 517 kPa (5.10 atm). Since that puts the pressure (1 atm) below the triple point pressure (5.1 atm) we are only concerned with the where the solid/vapor equilibrium line falls relative to the temperature. At 1 atm, the sublimation temperature of Carbon Dioxide is -78.5 °C - considerably below -20 °C so that puts the Carbon Dioxide firmly in the vapor region of the phase diagram.
Dry ice sublimes because it transitions directly from a solid to a gas without melting into a liquid first. This happens because the atmospheric pressure is lower than the vapor pressure of the carbon dioxide gas at that temperature, causing the solid dry ice to turn into gas.
At -60 degrees Celsius and standard atmospheric pressure (1 ATM), carbon dioxide exists in a solid phase, commonly referred to as dry ice. This temperature is below the sublimation point of carbon dioxide, where it transitions directly from solid to gas without becoming a liquid. Therefore, at these conditions, carbon dioxide would not be found in its gaseous or liquid form.
