When carbon dioxide changes from a solid to a gas, it absorbs a lot of heat, so that the temperature of the surrounding air drops rapidly, and the solubility in water vapor decreases. Water vapor liquefies and releases heat, turning into small water droplets, that is, fog

Problems needing attention in dry ice storage;

1. Put dry ice in an incubator: an incubator with good insulation effect can slow down the sublimation of dry ice.

2. Because the pressure generated by sublimation of dry ice will cause explosion, it is not allowed to store dry ice in a closed incubator.

Matters needing attention in using dry ice

Every time you touch dry ice, use thick cotton gloves or other shelter to touch dry ice. If it is in direct contact with the skin for a long time, it may cause cell freezing and similar slight or extremely serious frostbite damage.

Dry ice cannot be used in sealed places such as cars and cabins, because the sublimated carbon dioxide will be denser than oxygen, so it will squeeze out oxygen, which may lead to shortness of breath or even suffocation.

The temperature of dry ice is extremely low. Please don't put it in your mouth to prevent frostbite.

Dry ice can't be mixed with liquid, and it is easy to explode in a completely sealed container.
