By compressing $\ce{CO2 (g)}$ the gas gains a lot of heat. If thatWhen the hot compressed carbon dioxide is left to cool, it attains the temperature of the surrounding material. When it is released into the pressure outside (about 100kPa), it will becomeget so cold (actual temperature depending on how much the carbon dioxide was compressed), that it instantly freezeswill freeze (dry icebelow 78.5 degrees celcius) when released into normal pressure at 1 atm.

How much pressure is needed to make dry ice at 293K (20 degrees celcius)?
