Dry ice vaporising F007 / 8191
Dry ice vaporising (subliming). Carbon dioxide is a colourless gas at room temperature but becomes a liquid under compression. If the liquid is allowed to expand rapidly to atmospheric pressure, it cools suddenly and freezes to dry ice - a white solid. Dry ice sublimes (turns straight into a gas from the solid state) at -78.5 degrees Celsius (195 degrees Kelvin)

Beaker Carbon Dioxide Dry Ice Fluid Glass Liquid Single Object Solid Sublimation Vapour Laboratory Subliming Vaporizing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing process of dry ice vaporization, showcasing the scientific phenomenon in all its glory. Against a sleek black background, a single glass beaker holds the star of the show - F007 / 8191, a solid block of dry ice. The studio lighting accentuates every detail as wisps of white vapor gracefully rise from the surface. Dry ice is actually frozen carbon dioxide and remains colorless at room temperature until it undergoes sublimation. When subjected to atmospheric pressure after rapid expansion, this extraordinary substance transforms directly from its solid state into gaseous form. With an extreme sublimation point of -78.5 degrees Celsius (-195 degrees Kelvin), it releases billowing clouds that add an ethereal touch to this visual spectacle. The image not only showcases the beauty and complexity of science but also highlights its relevance in research laboratories worldwide. This photograph serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary substances like water and carbon dioxide can exhibit extraordinary properties when subject to specific conditions. Captured with precision by SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning studio shot invites us into the fascinating world where solids turn instantly into gases, leaving behind no trace except for their ephemeral presence captured within these frames.
