Master Dry Ice Composition and Properties: Safety Guide
Dry Ice Composition and Properties Dry ice, a fascinating substance used in various applications, is simply frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). Unlike regular ice, it doesn't melt; instead, it undergoes sublimation—a process where it transitions directly from a solid to a gas. This sublimation releases carbon dioxide gas, creating the characteristic fog often seen in special effects. This seemingly simple process underscores the critical need for safety precautions. Dry ice's extremely low temperature (-78....
