What is dry ice? What happens when the pressure under which it is stored is decreased to $1$ atmosphere?
(N/A) Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$.
It is stored under high pressure to maintain its solid state.
When the pressure is decreased to $1$ atmosphere,dry ice undergoes sublimation,meaning it converts directly from a solid state to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid phase.
