dry ice is the solid form of co2
that is dry ice!!!
Solid Carbon Dioxide is called dry ice because on sublimation, it directly changes to gas. It does not have an intermediate liquid state. Thus, when it is frozen, it does not melt. Therefore, as it does not change into liquid and is dry, it is called Dry ice.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. The conversion from solid to gas which carbon dioxide undergoes is called sublimination. the process where dry ice is changed into carbon dioxide is called sublimation.
Sublimation.
That's precisely what it's made of. "Regular" ice is made of solid water, also known as H2O. Dry ice is made of solid CO2. If you meant to ask that question backwards, solid CO2 is called dry ice because CO2 in its standard state at room temperature is a gas, unlike water, which is a liquid, therefore "dry ice" evaporates and leaves no liquid.
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.
a molecular solid...
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide, instead of water. The reason why it's called dry ice is under normal circumstances, heating dry ice will turn it directly into a gas, skipping a liquid form. The exception in all cases is under high pressure will melting dry ice turn into a liquid.
that is dry ice!!!
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2).
When dry ice is heated, it does not become liquid - but sublimes (turns straight into gas). This means that there is no liquid residue left behind, so it is called 'dry'.
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.
There is no ice escaping. Rather the dry ice is becoming a gas. It's called sublimation.
Solid Carbon Dioxide is called dry ice because on sublimation, it directly changes to gas. It does not have an intermediate liquid state. Thus, when it is frozen, it does not melt. Therefore, as it does not change into liquid and is dry, it is called Dry ice.
It is called dry ice because it looks like ice, but when it melts, no water comes out. It is dry. It looks like ice. AND IF YOU EAT IT YOU CAN DIE. you can't eat it
When ice transforms to water, it is called melting. If it is dry ice, and it evaporates, that is called sublimation.
Dry ice IS the solid form of carbon dioxide. And "dry ice" IS the common name for the solid CO2. So the question should be "What substance is the common name Dry Ice used for ? "
