Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, which sublimates directly from a solid to a gas at -78.5°C. When dry ice is exposed to warmer temperatures, it sublimates rapidly into carbon dioxide gas, creating a characteristic fog effect. Dry ice is often used for cooling or special effects due to this unique property.
Solid carbon dioxide has the look and feel of ice (and is even colder). But it does not melt to a liquid, but sublimates to form a gas. So it is always dry.
Dry ice is not corrosive. It is a solid form of carbon dioxide, which sublimates into gas at room temperature. While it can cause frostbite if touched directly, it does not have corrosive properties.
The active ingredient in dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It sublimates directly from a solid to a gas at a temperature of -78.5 degrees Celsius.
Dry ice is simply the chemical carbon dioxide in its solid state. Dry ice is very cold and sublimates directly into carbon dioxide gas at negative 78.5 degrees Celsius at sea level.
Dry ice is extremly conductive to temperature
yes EDIT: No. It sublimates.
Potentially, yes it is. Dry ice sublimates to form carbon dioxide gas, which is toxic.
it can sublimate faster in hot water
Dry ice doesn't melt. It sublimates at -78 0C, or -109 0F. Sublimation is a direct transition from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase.

It melts. But, sometimes it sublimates (turns directly from a solid to a gas).

It is usually a solid, which sublimates at room temperature to form a gas.
Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates rather than melts. It sublimates at a much faster rate than regular ice melts because it transforms directly from a solid to a gas at a temperature of around -78.5 degrees Celsius. Regular ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius, which takes more time than sublimation.
The amount of gas present in the bag will increase as the dry ice sublimates.
It does not melt into water like regular ice. It sublimates to a gas when it warms up, making it a lot less messy to keep next to your ice cream.
