Question

Write the chemical formula of dry ice. How is it stored? Explain why is it named so?

Answer 1

Chemical formula of Dry Ice is: $C{O}_2$

It is stored in an Air-tight vessel/container. Because it will absorb the heat and can sublime to gaseous $C{O}_2.$

Dry Ice is so called as it matches with Ice. Since $C{O}_2.$ cannot exist in liquid form. It sublimes straight from a solid to gas that is why it is called Dry Ice.
