Dry Ice is the solid form of
carbon dioxide. It is used primarily as a cooling agent. Its advantages include
lower temperature than that of water ice and not leaving any residue (other
than incidental frost from moisture in the atmosphere). It is useful for
preserving frozen foods where mechanical cooling is unavailable.
Dry ice sublimates at 194.65 K
(−78.5 °C; −109.3 °F), at Earth atmospheric pressures. This extreme cold makes
the solid dangerous to handle without protection due to burns caused by
freezing (frostbite). While generally not very toxic, the outgassing from it
can cause hypercapnia (abnormally elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood)
due to buildup in confined locations.
