Couldn’t the ice have been frozen carbon dioxide or some other compound as well as water?

Might be a simple reason how the material would not be CO2 but would be H2O. NASA should explain this since so many have asked how it is necessarily water ice and not CO2 ice.

Carbon Dioxide is gas above about -105 F. It gets about -15F during the day there. Frozen CO2 would have been evaporated faster.
