The first report of what we now call dry ice came from the French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 1924, the D
11、rylee Corporation of America named the solid form of CO2 as Dry Ice, which is what it is popularly called today.At normal atmospheric pressure, CO2changes directly from solid to gas. It skips the liquid phase（阶段）which makes regular ice wet. Frozen CO2is also much colder than regular ice. But regular
12、 ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, CO2 changes from gas to solid at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This extremely cold temperature makes it very dangerous to handle with bare hands. It can cause frostbite in a very short period of time.Dry ice has been used for a variety of purposes throughout the p

Through the process of sublimation (when CO2 changes from solid to gas), it can maintain cold food for a long time.If youve ever been to a play and seen heavy fog on the ground, it is likely that you ha

This effect can be achieved because CO2 is heavier than air, so evaporated （挥发的）CO2 will sink and accumulate on the ground.Another interesting use for this substance is to bait（诱杀）insects like mosquitoes. These insects have sensors which guide them to CO2. They find the high concentration of CO2 in dry ice quite attractive.Mars has long been a mystery for human beings. We have been looking for evidence of life on Mars. In the 1960s scientists guessed that the polar ice cap of Mars was made of frozen CO2. More recent observations have shown that while the top
