How does dry ice work?
I'm doing a research project on dry ice for Science , but I don't fully understand how it works. I know that it uses sublimation and skips the liquid state but that's pretty much all I know!

Explanation:
Carbon dioxide does not exist in a liquid phase at
Because of the low temperature of sublilmation, a dry-ice acetone or dry-ice ethanol condenser is very useful to use in the laboratory, and these are simply a hollow double-jacketed glass tube that is filled with dry ice pellets, and ethanol (or acetone) is carefully added to the jacket to chill down to
Such condensers are often used to condense gaseous ammonia (which boils at
