Question: When you place ice cubes on
the table on a hot summer day, they melt and the liquid water then evaporates.
What happens to dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) if it is left on the table?
Answer: The vapour pressure of dry ice
exceeds atmospheric pressure at room temperature. Therefore, dry ice sublimes.
The carbon dioxide changes directly from a solid state to a gaseous state.
