Sorry to crash your thread PenKnight, but I have a question too. I always thought that CO2 sublimed from solid to Gas and that there was no liquid stage. Obviously the liquid phase will be possible at certain temperature pressure scenarios on its phase diagram, but at a standard 1 atmosphere, do we get liquid CO2? What causes the confusion if not as lots of people talk about liquid CO2 as if it were common, but as I said - I've always known it to sublime?
