    Dry ice is:

    A) dry \[C{{O}_{2}}\] gas                   

    B) solid \[S{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) solid \[N{{H}_{3}}\]        

    D) solid \[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Solid \[C{{O}_{2}}\]is known as dry ice. It is obtained when  compressed  carbon  dioxide  gas  (50-60 atm) is cooled. When solid \[C{{O}_{2}}\]is allowed to evaporate in air at atmospheric pressure it directly changes into gaseous state by reducing the temperature. It is used for making cold bath in laboratory, for curing  local bums and for surgical operation of sores.
