h2o Which stands for Dihydrogen oxide is what water is made up of, but,

there are certain substances that don't have a so-called scientific name, not even in IUPAC nomenclature. Water is one of those; ammonia is another. If you were to call H2O "dihydrogen oxide", or anything else other than "water" in an exam, your answer would be marked as incorrect.

Similarly, while NH3 might be expected to be called nitrogen trihydride by a strict rendering of the naming rules, this is not recognised either. The only acceptable name is ammonia.

IUPAC = International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

How does it effect a plants growth if you ad dry ice to its soil?

Adding dry ice to soil can have negative effects on plant growth because the release of carbon dioxide from the sublimation of dry ice can suffocate the roots by displacing oxygen. Additionally, the extreme cold temperature of dry ice can damage the roots and disrupt metabolic processes in the plant. Overall, it is not recommended to add dry ice to soil for plant growth.


What does dry ice smell like?

depending on the type of food stored in your freezer, or the state you live in, your ice could come with a scent. The closer you live to sewer drains, the worse the smell, coloration, and clarity of your ice will be. It is best to stay away from ice that is not transparent. Some ice also comes with a foul taste and it is best to discard and use fresh water in your ice treys. Never trust brown ice.

Does dry ice occur naturally in Antarctica?

At atmospheric pressure, sublimation/deposition occurs at −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F). However, there is relatively little CO2 in the atmosphere, so you certainly won't get 'snow' or 'sheets of ice' from it. At best you'll get a little bit of dry ice 'frost'.

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.

How did dry ice get its name?

It is called "dry" because when heat is given, it sublimes (turns from a solid into a gas). This is different from actual ice that turns from a solid to a liquid. It is called "ice" because solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is very cold, similar to ice.
