It is called "dry" because when heat is given, it sublimes (turns from a solid into a gas). This is different from actual ice that turns from a solid to a liquid. It is called "ice" because solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is very cold, similar to ice.
Dry ice IS the solid form of carbon dioxide. And "dry ice" IS the common name for the solid CO2. So the question should be "What substance is the common name Dry Ice used for ? "
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.
Dry ice bombs are usually created from a container like plastic bottles, water, and dry ice. The solid carbon dioxide becomes warmer resulting to increase in pressure and limited room to expand.
Yes, dry ice can cool more rapidly than regular ice because it sublimates directly from a solid to a gas, absorbing more heat in the process. This rapid cooling effect makes dry ice useful in applications where a quick temperature drop is needed.
Dry ice is nothing but the solid CO2 , When CO2 is compressed under high pressure, it first come to liquid state and when more pressure is applied on it, it becomes solid. This solid is called as Dry Ice. Thus we can say that dry ice in solid state
Dry ice
Dry ice IS the solid form of carbon dioxide. And "dry ice" IS the common name for the solid CO2. So the question should be "What substance is the common name Dry Ice used for ? "
Dry ice is the solid form of Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
The chemical name of dry ice is carbon dioxide (CO2). It is called "dry ice" because it sublimates directly from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid phase, hence the term "dry." Dry ice is not the same as ordinary ice (frozen water) because it is made of carbon dioxide while ordinary ice is made of water molecules.
When ice transforms to water, it is called melting. If it is dry ice, and it evaporates, that is called sublimation.

Carbon dioxide (in solid state)
I've never actually heard this term used. I suppose it might mean either dry ice or a mixture of dry ice and acetone (or dry ice and diethyl ether), dry ice being somewhat easier for most people to obtain than liquid nitrogen.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.
Yes, dry ice is opaque.
