The best-known sublimating substance is carbon dioxide which, under normal conditions, has no liquid state. Ordinary water ice, especially as snow, will sometimes sublimate in dry weather and direct sunlight.

What is the sublimation of a solid?

Direct conversion into a gas (see dry ice for a common example).

Give you an examples of sublimation in science?

An example of sublimation in science is dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide that changes directly into carbon dioxide gas when heated. Another example is the process of freeze drying, where water is removed from a substance by sublimation under low pressure and temperature conditions.


What do you call the process of a solid changing to a gas?

Sublimation is the process of a solid changing directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.


What is the Main example of sublimation?

Is car freshener an example of sublimation?

Car fresheners are an example of sublimation because the freshener gives off a smell, which is really a gas, without becoming a liquid. (Sublimation is a solid changing directly to a gas with out going through the liquid phase)


What is the word for this definition the process in which a soild changes directly into a gas?

Sublimation is the term for the process in which a solid changes directly into a gas, without passing through the liquid state.


What is the change of a substance from a solid directly to gas?

The process of a substance changing directly from a solid to a gas is called sublimation. This occurs when the substance's vapor pressure exceeds its triple point pressure. It bypasses the liquid phase entirely.


Is sublimation common on Earth?

Yes, very common. The ice sheets and glaciers diminish by the process of sublimation. The direct passing from solid to vapour without an intervening water phase.


Is a candle an example of sublimation?

No, a candle is not an example of sublimation. Sublimation is the process by which a substance transitions from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Candles involve the solid wax melting into a liquid state and then being converted into gas through combustion.


What are other examples of turning solid into gas without passing through liquid?

One common example is sublimation of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning directly into carbon dioxide gas. Another example is the sublimation of camphor, where the solid form changes directly into a gaseous form without passing through the liquid state.


What is it called when a solid transitions into a gas or liquid?

The process of a solid transitioning directly into a gas is called sublimation. When a solid transitions into a liquid, it is called melting.
