boinky 0 #3 October 17, 2008 I vote for vaporize! Quote Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Unlike most solids, it does not melt into a liquid, but instead changes directly into a gas. This process is called sublimation. The temperature of dry ice is around -109° F! It melts very quickly so if you need dry ice for an experiment or project, buy it as close as possible to the time you need it. But I guess it all depends on your definition of "melt."Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Ice can also sublimate, which is why ice cubes slowly disappear in your freezer. Its converse is deposition, where something goes directly from a gas to a solid (as in frost.) >Logically it seems that the liquid form would exist, if even for a minute instant. Nope. That's why ice can sublimate at below freezing temps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #5 October 17, 2008 QuoteApparently ... QuoteCarbon dioxide has no liquid state at pressures below 5.1 atm. Is that because it goes from solid to vapor instantly, or if you could slow time down to view the process, would you see a liquid state for milliseconds. I think that they are saying that there is no sustained liquid state below 5.1 atm.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #7 October 17, 2008 In consideration of your point, I'll present this concept. Seems like an awful lot to do just to make "dry" ice "wet," though!
