Dry ice is the solid form (state of matter) of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Under normal circumstances, it will change state from a solid directly to a gas. It does this without melting (changing state to a liquid). We call the direct transformation of a solid to a gas sublimation, and dry ice is said to sublime when going directly from its solid state to a gas.

List three substances that you have experienced in at least two physical states?

MatterWater... it exists as a gas (steam), a liquid (water) and solid (ice).


What is the changing state of phase?

The change of phase or state is when a liquid, gas, or solid change its form! liquid can turn into a solid (ice) or a gas (steam). Gas can turn into a liquid (water).But there are some exceptions to this rule , such as dry ice. Dry ice turns directly into a gas.


Is dry ice a liquid?

Dry ice is not a liquid. It is a solid form of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide changes from a gas to a solid at low temperatures, under pressure.


Is Dry ice solid liquid gas plasma?

It is usually a solid, which sublimates at room temperature to form a gas.


Does dry ice contain plasma?

Dry ice does not contain plasma. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, while plasma is an ionized gas where the atoms have lost or gained electrons. Dry ice sublimates directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.


Is dry ice a solid or a liquid?

Dry ice is the solid form (state of matter) of carbon dioxide (CO2).Under normal circumstances, it will change state from a solid directly to a gas. It does this without melting (changing state to a liquid). We call the direct transformation of a solid to a gas sublimation, and dry ice is said to sublime when going directly from its solid state to a gas.


Can a solid change states?

yes a solid can hange states, ice can melt (liquid) and dry ice (solid) 'melts' into a gas


Can sublimation change liquid into a gas?

Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas. E.g Dry ice is a solid but slowly turns into a gas, it doesn't go into a liquid. Evaporation is liquid to gas.


What solid can be turn into a gas but not a liquid?

Dry Ice, also known as Solid Carbon Dioxide


What states can dry ice be found in?

Solid. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide( what you mainly breath out) , it is like asking: what states are there for steam? Steam is defined as water as a gas, the same kind of thing is with dry ice exept it's a solid for carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide can be solid, liquid or gas, the solid is made by making the gas a liquid by compression then to a solid by freezing.


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.


Ice is made of which gas?

ice comes from water which water comes from air.. oxygen is a gas which changes to water which is a liquid then to ice which is a solid liquid Dry ice is solid Carbon dioxide, which is usually a gas at standard temperature and pressure. Normal ice is solid water, which is normally a liquid at standard temperature and pressure.
