Yes, you can turn a gas into a solid. Think first about the opposite: turning a solid into a gas. That is a common experience. Under ordinary conditions "dry ice", which is solid carbon dioxide, evaporates directly into a gas without first melting. (That's why it's called "dry".) The evaporation of a solid into a gaseous form is called "sublimation". Its all through low pressure.

∙ 12y agoYes. It can go directly into a gas when you add more energy!!
This process is known as sublimation.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoA solid can change into a gas without being a liquid. Dry ice is an excellent example of this process.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes.
Everything can melt and boil under the right circumstances.
As for a solid turning into gas state before it turns into liquid state, dry ice is the best example.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, it's called "sublimation", an example is dry ice solid converting into CO2 gas.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, the process of going from a gas to a solid is called deposition. The opposite process, going from solid to gas, is called sublimation.

∙ 14y agoyes it can the process is called desublimation or deposition. Water vapor does this regularly when turning from sub freezeing water vapor instantly to ice or frost.

∙ 11y agoGood question. The changing from a solid right to a gas without becoming a liquid first is called sublimation. The most common example of sublimation is dry ice.

What is the change of state from solid to a gas called?
If a gas changes into a solid, without becoming a liquid first, it goes through deposition.
What do you call when gas turns into a solid?
The phase change from gas to solid without first going through a liquid phase is called "deposition."
What is the relationship between energy and phase changes?
Adding or removing energy in the form of heat causes the phase change. The amount of heat to be added or removed is called latent heat. It changes the state of a substance without changing it's temperature. There are two types of latent heat. The latent heat of fusion, and the latent heat of vaporization. The latent heat of fusion must be added to change phase from solid to liquid, and removed to change from liquid to solid. The first change is endothermic and the second change is exothermic. The latent heat of vaporization must be added to change phase from liquid to vapor, and removed to change from vapor to liquid. Again the first change is endothermic and the second change is exothermic.
How much does 1litre of fluid weigh in lbs?
Depends on the fluid. If you're talking about water, or rather any kind of liquid, weigh the 1 liter bottle first without liquid, then fill it up with liquid and weigh it, then subtract the first result from the second result.
What type of reaction is sublimation?
Sublimation is not a reaction, but a physical change (change of state or phase). The solid turns instantly to gas, rather than first going to liquid state. At the right temperature and pressure, this can happen. A common example of this is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turns to carbon dioxide gas without first going through the liquid phase. This occurs, because liquid carbon dioxide cannot exist at 1 atmosphere pressure. Sublimation can happen with solid water (ice) as well, at the right temperature. Ice cubes in a freezer can seemingly disappear over time.
Is sublimation is the change from a solid to a gas without becoming liquid first?
Yes that is sublimation. A change of state from solid to gas without going through the liquid phase at all.
The phase change in which a substance change from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first is?
it is sublimation
When a gas is cooled enough it will turn into?
liquid nitrogen-mr monopoly
Sublimation is the change of a solid into a?
In physics, sublimation is the change of a solid directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid.
In which phase change does a substance change from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first?
Corn, corn is always the answer.
What is the state change that occurs when a solid becomes a gas without becoming a liquid first?
sublimation
What phase change changes a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first?
sublimation
The phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first is?
sublimation
What is sublimaton?
Submilation is when you change something directly from a gas to a liquid, with out changing it into a liquid first.
The process by which iodine particles change directly to a gas without first becoming a liquid called?
it's called sublimation
What is the change of state from solid to a gas called?
If a gas changes into a solid, without becoming a liquid first, it goes through deposition.
What do you call when gas turns into a solid?
The phase change from gas to solid without first going through a liquid phase is called "deposition."
