Question

what is dry ice ? what happens when the pressure under which it is stored is decreased to 1 atmosphere??

Answer 1

Dry ice is nothing more than the solid form of
`CO_(2)~(carbon~dioxide)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

It starts sublimating (goes from solid form directly to gas form) at -78.5º C, at a standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm), meaning
`CO_(2)` can be preserved in its solid form at temperatures lower than -78.5º C.

Answer 2

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not stored under pressure.

At 1 atm, it sublimates (changes directly from a solid to a gas) at -78.5 °C.
