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.
The common name for dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. It is called dry ice because it undergoes sublimation, transitioning directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase.
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide.
Yes, dry ice can explode if it is contained in a sealed container. As dry ice sublimates and turns into carbon dioxide gas, it can build up pressure within a closed container, potentially causing it to explode. It is important to handle dry ice with caution and ensure proper ventilation when using it.
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 commonly found in its solid state at a temperature of -78.5°C (-109.3°F). It sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state, which makes it useful for a variety of applications.

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.

Solid CO2 is called dry ice.
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.
