Carbon dioxide turns into what is known as "dry ice" which is fact solid carbon dioxide. It changes directly from a solid to a gas at about -56°C under normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. This process is known as sublimation.

The solid carbon dioxide is transformed directly in gaseous carbon dioxide; this phenomenon is called sublimation.


Can dry ice cause a lot of carbon dioxide?

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. While it doesn't cause anything, when dry ice sublimates (melts, except without becoming a liquid), gaseous carbon dioxide is released. So if this happens in an enclosed space, there will be a buildup of carbon dioxide.


What is dry ice and how is it connected to sublimation?

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.


What process occurs when gaseous carbon dioxide forms directly from dry ice?

When a solid evaporates directly to a gaseous state, it is called sublimation.


How is dry ice unique?

When dry ice placed in water we see bubbles rise these bubbles are made of carbon dioxide in what state?

The bubbles consist of carbon dioxide gas in the gaseous state.


What would happen to dry ice if we would leave it out?

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide- it evaporates ito gaseous form if you leave it out. That is why it is "dry".


What state does carbon dioxide exist in on earth?

Carbon dioxide exists in the gaseous state on Earth's surface. It can also exist as a solid (dry ice) at very low temperatures or as a liquid at high pressures and low temperatures.


Why is dry ice evaporation a physical chainge?

Dry ice is a solid form of cooled carbon dioxide. When it reaches room temperature it changes to gaseous carbon dioxide. Since, there is no change in the chemical composition of dry ice, it is called a physical change.


What is the common name for 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 ? "


Example of a solid bypassing the liquid phase and changing directly to the gaseous phase?

Sublimation is the process in which a solid turns directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is an example of a substance that undergoes sublimation when it is exposed to normal atmospheric conditions.
