solid carbon dioxide
Frozen carbon dioxide
Solid carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide in frozen form, occurring at temperatures below -78°C (-109°F).
Commonly called dry ice, it sublimates directly from solid to gas without passing through a liquid phase, making it useful for refrigeration, theatrical fog effects, and shipping perishables: Pack the specimens in solid carbon dioxide.
