Solution

Concept:
Step 1:Definition: Solid carbon dioxide is a white solid called dry ice.
Step 2: Explanation: 1. When a slab of solid carbon dioxide is exposed to air, then the pressure on it is reduced to normal atmospheric pressure.
2. At 1 atmospheric pressure its temperature rises and it starts getting converted into carbon dioxide gas.
3. By decreasing the pressure and increasing the temperature solid carbon dioxide is converted into carbon dioxide gas. 4. Solid carbon dioxide can be stored under high pressure because by decreasing the pressure, it
gets converted directly into carbon dioxide gas.
Final answer: Solid carbon dioxide can be stored under high pressure because by decreasing the pressure, it
gets converted directly into carbon dioxide gas.
