I4-51: SUBLIMATION OF DRY ICE - PROJECTION

PURPOSE: To demonstrate sublimation of carbon dioxide (dry ice) from a solid into a gas.

DESCRIPTION: Place a chunk of dry ice on the plastic sheet, on an overhead projector if desired. As the dry ice evaporates (evaporation sublimation) it becomes smaller but leaves no residue.
