What is another term for dry ice?
carbonated ice
liquid nitrogen
ice crystals
solid carbon dioxide
Solid carbon dioxide is also called dry ice. That’s because when it gets warmer and changes state, it doesn’t change to a liquid by melting. Instead, it changes directly to a gas without going through the liquid state. The process in which a solid changes directly to a gas is called sublimation . It occurs when energy is added to a solid such as dry ice. You can watch dry ice changing directly to a gas in the video at this URL: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=J8mDGwf-5x0 .
