Where was dry ice originally found?
Dry Ice, solid CO2 does not appear naturally on Earth, but can be produced. It was first recorded by the French chemist Thilorier in 1835.
Is dry ice a mineral?
No, dry ice frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), it is created when CO2 is released in a high-pressure container that results to the cooling of liquid to freezing point. Dry ice sublimates directly from solid gas and has the temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C. See the link below for more fast facts on dry ice.
Is Jupiter's rings made of dry ice?
Yes. They are also made of debris in space.
Is water the only substance that occurs naturally as solid liquid and gas?
No, carbon dioxide can occur naturally as a solid (dry ice), liquid (when compressed), and gas (in the atmosphere). Mercury is another substance that naturally exists as a solid, liquid, and gas under different temperature conditions.
Can you use any type of cooler for dry ice?
No, not all coolers are suitable for dry ice. It is recommended to use a heavy-duty cooler made of materials like plastic or metal that can withstand the extremely low temperature of dry ice without cracking or breaking. Additionally, make sure the cooler has a good seal to prevent the gas buildup that can occur with dry 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'.
Is dry ice a element?
Dry ice is not an element. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a compound.
Does ice occur naturally or is it manufactured?
It is manufactured.
How do you preserve dry ice?
The best way to keep dry ice from sublimating quickly is by packing them as close to each other as possible to avoid empty space. Empty space will cause the dry ice to sublimate faster. Fill in these empty space with new bubble packs, newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts. It is also advisable to purchase dry ice as close to the time of usage as possible. Check link below for more information on dry ice and dry ice makers.
How to reduce dry ice loss?
To reduce dry ice loss, make sure to pack dry ice as close to each other as possible. Fill any empty space with new bubble packs, newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts since the space will cause the dry ice to sublimate faster.
Does weathering and erosion occur naturally?
Yes. Mostly by wind, water and ice.
What planet does sublimation occur naturally on?
Sublimation occurs naturally on Earth. Snow and ice can sublimate slowly in hot sun.
How can you make dry ice at home?
Dry ice can be made at home, given that you have the necessary equipment such as portable dry ice makers and know how in making and handling dry ice. A portable dry ice maker allows you to produce dry ice anytime and almost everywhere. Some models of portable dry ice makers can produce 1 lb- blocks of dry ice within a minute.Portable dry ice makers also don't occupy so much space since they are usually attached to CO2 containers and are not huge floor standing equipments. So allocating space for this equipment isn't a problem. It is advised to be fully informed on the safety precautions in handling dry ice before making your own at home.
How do company's make dry ice?
Dry ice is made when carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is compressed in a high-pressure container until it liquefies. Upon the release of pressure, some of the liquid turns into gas that cools some of the liquid into its solid state in the form of dry ice. There are also portable dry ice makers available.Certain dry ice makers are capable of producing 1 lb-blocks of dry ice within a minute. Portable dry ice makers also don't occupy so much space since they are usually attached to CO2 containers and are not huge floor standing equipment.
