** Provide dry ice (CO2) which is solidified carbon dioxide (CO2). Distinct from regular ice, which exists at temperatures of 32F (0C) and below, dry ice is extremely cold, 109F (-79C). Unlike water ice, dry ice does not melt. Instead, it sublimates (changes directly from solid to gas), releasing CO2. Carbon dioxide vapor is substantially heavier than air.
