A material can be directly from the solid phase to gas phase without becoming liquid, in a process called sublimation. The sublimation process is also quite often used in theatrical fog to produce. Under the right conditions, water is sublimated and below 0 ° C (32 ° F) there is a solid at atmospheric pressure. Even if you can not melt at lower temperatures, the ice goes directly into the atmosphere as a gas. This process can be easily observed on avery cold day, when the frost disappears from the outside of the window.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when the pressure solid at -109 ° F (-78.5 ° C). If you need to carry water-based frozen food, a block of dry ice do the trick, because instead of casting, you can go directly from solid to gas. When you put dry ice in hot water, it sublimates rapidly and the flow of gas, which means that small water droplets, creating a fog. This process is often used inTheater, because the gas is cold and carbon dioxide is heavier than air is flowing, the mist over the stage, instead of rising above it.
In a process similar to sandblasting, dry ice is also suitable for surface cleaning spray pellets to remove solid impurities and stripes in color. The pellets sublimate into a gas and will not be cleared to leave behind mounds of sand.
But the state of a substance, gases, liquids or solids to be dependent on temperature and pressure. CarbonCarbon dioxide does not dissolve like most materials at normal atmospheric pressure, but allows the liquid to form at high pressure. If you want to increase the pressure for about five times the normal atmospheric pressure, carbon dioxide is liquid at room temperature. Carbon dioxide is also used for fire extinguishers, liquid carbon dioxide under pressure holds, "snow" or spray for clothing, dry cleaning, in some procedures.
Bottom line, can form liquid dry ice, regular ice seems to melt, butunder normal conditions, at normal atmospheric pressure. It does not dissolve, because unless the atmospheric pressure is higher than five times the carbon dioxide sublimes, going directly from solid to gas. Because of this quality, if a package comes with a block of dry ice, and some will be unchanged, the block of dry ice is only small, but not melted.
