Carbon dioxide is life giving and interesting

It sublimates. Meaning it won’t exist in our world as a liquid

Goes from gas. To vapor. No in between

This does mean that if you put it in a sealed container the laws of nature being what they are it will expand to 22.4 l per 44 g of “CO2 ice”

Inasmuch is 44 g only equals about 1.5 oz of solid geezh! That’s gonna be a lot of gas

Ie. KABOOM!

Nuff sed

True, unless it is under pressure. At more than 5.1 atmospheres or 75 psi CO2 will form a liquid. Liquid CO2 is generally cheaper to purchase than liquid nitrogen however it is more reactive and requires more expensive equipment to handle.
