Best Answer

Dry ice is liquid carbon dioxide, which is about 57 degrees C below zero. It is so cold that objects are easy to crack -- even iron is brittle and an iron rod breaks when tapped. The doctor uses it or liquid nitrogen, in a medical office, to remove dead skin, especially the thick one that forms on the bottom of one's feet. Another use is to preserve an organ on its way for an organ transplant.Awesomeright?
