Solid carbon dioxide is called dry ice, it is created by compressing carbon dioxide and chilling it, so it is very cold. When it heats up, it does not melt into a liquid, but straight into a gaseous form. This is called sublimation.
That's the common name for frozen carbon dioxide.

("dry" because it turns into a gas at room temp rather than a liquid.)

  • Dry ice, sometimes referred to as "card ice", is the solid form of carbon dioxide.
  • It is used primarily as a cooling agent.
  • Its advantages include lower temperature than that of water ice and not leaving any residue (other than incidental frost from moisture in the atmosphere).
  • It is useful for preserving frozen foods, ice cream, etc., where mechanical cooling is unavailable.
  • Dry ice sublimates at −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F) at Earth atmospheric pressures.
