Solution

Dear Student, Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth's atmosphere. ... Dry Ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Dry Ice is widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle using insulated gloves. Dry ice will keep the temperature cold and reduce spoilage. Regards
