उत्तर
Dry ice is solid CO2.
Explanation:
Solid CO2 is referred to as dry ice because it is used in laboratories to create an ice bath for organic reactions. It is made by rapidly cooling high-pressure CO2 gas.

How can you explain higher stability of BCl3 as compared to TlCl3?
If B–Cl bond has a dipole moment, explain why BCl3 molecule has zero dipole moment.
Suggest reasons why the B–F bond lengths in BF3 (130 pm) and `"BF"_4^(-)` (143 pm) differ.
In some of the reactions thallium resembles aluminium, whereas in others it resembles with group I metals. Support this statement by giving some evidences.
What do you understand by inert pair effect?
Ionisation enthalpy (∆iH1kJ mol–1) for the elements of Group 13 follows the order.
Explain why the following compounds behave as Lewis acids?
AlCl3
When BCl3 is treated with water, it hydrolyses and forms [B[OH]4]– only whereas AlCl3 in acidified aqueous solution forms [Al(H2O)6]3+ ion. Explain what is the hybridisation of boron and aluminium in these species?
Aluminium dissolves in mineral acids and aqueous alkalies and thus shows amphoteric character. A piece of aluminium foil is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sodium hydroxide solution in a test tube and on bringing a burning matchstick near the mouth of the test tube, a pop sound indicates the evolution of hydrogen gas. The same activity when performed with concentrated nitric acid, reaction doesn’t proceed. Explain the reason.
Explain the following:
Pb4+ acts as an oxidising agent but Sn2+ acts as a reducing agent.
