    Question

    Dry Ice is nothing but

    A.

    Washing soda

    B.

    Carbon monoxide

    C.

    Gaseous carbon dioxide

    D.

    Solid carbon dioxide

    Correct option is D

    Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO2).It is primarily used as a cooling agent due to its ability to sublimate directly from solid to gas without forming a liquid.

    Key points:
    ● Dry ice maintains a temperature of approximately -78.5°C (-109.3°F).
    ● It is widely used in refrigeration, preservation of perishable goods, and creating fog effects in stage productions.
    ● Its sublimation property makes it clean and residue-free for cooling purposes.
    ● Handling dry ice requires precautions like insulated gloves to prevent frostbite.
    ● It is non-toxic but must be used in well-ventilated spaces to avoid CO2 buildup.
    ● Dry ice is manufactured by compressing and cooling CO2 gas into its solid state.

    Additional Information:

    • Washing soda is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
    • Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas
