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.
Solid carbon dioxide is called dry ice because it resembles ice, but does not melt.
If you freeze water and warm it up it changes from a solid to a liquid (it melts).
However, if you take frozen, solid Carbon Dioxide and warm it it will not melt, it will turn directly into a gas. Thus as no liquid forms as it is heated 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.
Yes, it is a compound, it is made of 2 different elements, it is solid carbon dioxide.
Yes, this is why solid carbon dioxide is often called "dry ice." Instead of melting, it sublimes directly from a solid into a gas.
Solid Carbon Dioxide ( Dry Ice ) is not ductile.
'Dry Ice' is frozen Carbon Dioxide.
It can be, and when it is a solid, it is called dry ice.
Solid Carbon dioxide 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.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2).
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2).
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.
Yes, it is a compound, it is made of 2 different elements, it is solid carbon dioxide.
A solid called 'dry ice'
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 ? "
Yes, this is why solid carbon dioxide is often called "dry ice." Instead of melting, it sublimes directly from a solid into a gas.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide goes from a solid phase to a gaseous phase without becoming a liquid and that transition is called sublimation.
Solid carbon dioxide is frozen and is commonly known as dry ice.
