Carbon Dioxide is a colourless, odourless, non flammable gas that is used for various medical purposes. It is formed by the burning of hydrocarbon with air, the fermentation of liquids and as a by-product from chemical processes. It doesn’t sustain life. At -78.5°C it freezes to form Carbon Dioxide snow.
