- Figure P20.45 shows a phase diagram of carbon dioxide in terms of pressure and temperature, a. Use the phase diagram to explain why dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates into vapor at atmospheric pressure rather than melting into a liquid. At what temperature does the dry ice sublimate when at atmospheric pressure? b. Estimate what pressure would be needed to liquefy carbon dioxide at room temperature.arrow_forwardIn some countries, liquid nitrogen is used on dairy trucks instead of mechanical refrigerators.
