It's cold and you hear creeps of footsteps around the corner. It's dark and the atmosphere is damp. You feel something touch your back but when you look back all you see is the flickers of a dark green light a few feet away and white fog arising from the ground. “FIRE!?”, you whisper in fright but then you realize you're in a haunted house.

Dry ice is one of the craziest things out there. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide and it is a pretty natural substance permitted from Earth’s atmosphere. Its agas and often used in thing like soda water and plants use it for photosynthesis. To create dry ice you have to freeze the gas at the temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Dry ice also melts father than normal ice but it does out live the life span of normal ice. Weird right? Dry ice can also be made on the spot by using the element CO2. …show more content…

From Ice that’s dried? Snow? Just carbon dioxide gas or what? Well carbon dioxide gas is used to make dry ice. To make it the cool and pressurize the gas until it turns into a liquid. Once it is in liquid form they either clock press the material or they pelletize it. They then have a machine chambers in which once the carbon dioxide is released to atmospheric pressure, the liquid carbon dioxide converts into dry ice snow and carbon dioxide gas. Pretty
