Physical Properties
CO2 is able to be converted from a gas to a solid to a liquid. It has almost twice the density of air , making it able to be poured from a container.
- gas density (natural state): 1.87 kg/m3
- liquid density: 1032 kg/m3
- solid density: 1562 kg/m3
- molecular mass: 44.01 g/mol
- colorless because it is a gas,
- odorless
- melting point: -55.6 degC
- boiling point: -78.5 degC
- Is not flammable
