Question:

What is the chemical name of Dry Ice?

Options:

Oxidane

Nitrogen Oxide

Sulpher Dioxide

Carbon dioxide

Correct Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. Carbon dioxide.

The chemical name of Dry Ice is Carbon dioxide.

Dry Ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2) at a temperature of -78.5°C (-109.3°F). It is commonly used as a cooling agent and is called "dry ice" because it sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. Therefore, the correct chemical name is carbon oxide, which is a common term for carbon dioxide when it is in its solid form.
