Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Gas
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide is odorless at normally encountered concentrations, however, at high concentrations, it has a sharp and acidic odor.
It is a versatile industrial material, used, for example, as an inert gas in welding and fire extinguishers, as a pressurizing gas in air guns and oil recovery, and as a supercritical fluid solvent in decaffeination of coffee and supercritical drying. It is added to drinking water and carbonated beverages including beer and sparkling wine to add effervescence. The frozen solid form of CO₂, known as dry ice is used as a refrigerant and as an abrasive in dry-ice blasting.
