Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth's atmosphere.
It is the gas that we exhale during breathing and the gas that plants use in
photosynthesis. It is also the same gas commonly added to water to make soda
water. Dry Ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things
frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Dry Ice is
widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle using
insulated gloves. Dry Ice changes directly from a solid to a gas
-sublimation- in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet
liquid stage. Therefore it gets the name "dry ice."
