Dry Ice Temp??

[R Dannemann]

Does anybody know the actual temperature of Solid Dry Ice?

Can't find it in any of my reference material!

Dry Ice (solid CO2) is approximately -109 degrees F. It is made by forcing CO2 gas through an expansion valve (sort of like the one on a CO2 fire extenguisher), collecting the flakes and pressing them into a block with a hydraulic ram. It doesn't "melt", it "sublimes" or goes from a solid to a gas at atmospheric pressures.
