solid carbon dioxide is stored undeer high pressure. this is because on decresing the preasure the temp will increase and solid carbon dioxide will be directly changed into CO2 in gaseous state.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Its fusion temperature is much less than that of water. So it easily vaporizes out. Under high pressures although the temperature is enough to evaporate the ice it is held together by that huge amount of force(from the pressure). Thus it is stored under high pressure.

Dry ice is stored under pressure to prevent it vaporising.

What is dry ice what will happen when the pressure is released on dry ice?

solid carbon dioxide (CO2) is stored under high pressure. Solid CO2 gets converted directly to gaseous state on decrease of pressure to 1 atmosphere without coming into liquid state. This is the reason that solid carbon dioxide is also known as dry ice
