  2. Dry ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

    Subliming dry ice pellet, with white frost on the surface. Dry ice colloquially means the solid form of carbon dioxide.It is commonly used for temporary refrigeration as CO 2 does not have a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure and sublimes directly from the solid state to the gas state.

  3. Carbonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonation

    Since carbonation is the process of giving compounds like carbonic acid (liq) from CO 2 (gas) {i.e. making liquid from gasses} thus the partial pressure of CO 2 has to decrease or the mole fraction of CO 2 in solution has to increase {P CO 2 /x CO 2 = K B} and both these two conditions support increase in carbonation.

  4. Liquid carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_carbon_dioxide

    Jets of liquid carbon dioxide. Liquid carbon dioxide is the liquid state of carbon dioxide (CO 2), which cannot occur under atmospheric pressure.It can only exist at a pressure above 5.1 atm (5.2 bar; 75 psi), under 31.1 °C (88.0 °F) (temperature of critical point) and above −56.6 °C (−69.9 °F) (temperature of triple point).

  5. Liquefaction of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction_of_gases

    Many gases can be put into a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure by simple cooling; a few, such as carbon dioxide, require pressurization as well. Liquefaction is used for analyzing the fundamental properties of gas molecules (intermolecular forces), or for the storage of gases, for example: LPG , and in refrigeration and air conditioning .

  6. Carbonization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonization

    A series of processes that involve carbonization. [2]Carbonization is a pyrolytic reaction, therefore, is considered a complex process in which many reactions take place concurrently such as dehydrogenation, condensation, hydrogen transfer and isomerization.

  7. Carbonated water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonated_water

    Modern carbonated water is made by injecting pressurized carbon dioxide into water. [36] The pressure increases the solubility and allows more carbon dioxide to dissolve than would be possible under standard atmospheric pressure. When the bottle is opened, the pressure is released, allowing gas to exit the solution, forming the characteristic ...

  8. Weathering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering

    The latter covers reactions to water, atmospheric gases and biologically produced chemicals with rocks and soils. Water is the principal agent behind both kinds, [1] though atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide and the activities of biological organisms are also important. [2] Biological chemical weathering is also called biological weathering. [3]

  9. Liquid oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_oxygen

    Liquid oxygen has a clear cyan color and is strongly paramagnetic: it can be suspended between the poles of a powerful horseshoe magnet. [2] Liquid oxygen has a density of 1.141 kg/L (1.141 g/ml), slightly denser than liquid water, and is cryogenic with a freezing point of 54.36 K (−218.79 °C; −361.82 °F) and a boiling point of 90.19 K (−182.96 °C; −297.33 °F) at 1 bar (14.5 psi).
