Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide that sublimates directly to gas at -78.5°C without going through a liquid phase. It is used for cooling and preservation but can be dangerous if not handled properly due to its extremely low temperature and the gas it releases. Safety precautions, like using gloves, are essential when handling dry ice.
