In theory, yes. In practice, this would be a difficult endeavor. Sublimation involves the change from the solid to gaseous state of matter. Inspection of a phase diagram will show that sublimation happens only in a narrow range of temperature and pressure. For many common substances this range is outside the standard temperature and pressure regions and therefore would require specialized equipment to carry out the analysis.
For substances whose sublimation ranges do include the standard pressure region, the analysis would be relatively simple: heat the substance until it begins to sublime, noting the temperature range from beginning to end of the process. One could possibly even use the standard MelTemp apparatus.
For substances whose sublimation ranges do include the standard temperature region, a pressure vessel could be designed to hold the substance at constant temperature while varying the pressure and making the observation noted in the paragraph above.

What is fractional sublimation?
Sublimation refers to a substance changing from a solid directly into a gas, and can usually only be achieved via decrease in air pressure as well as temperature. Fractional sublimation refers to separating a substance's parts through the sublimation of one part.
What is the process involved in solid to gas?
A substance which changes state directly from a solid to a gas is said to have sublimed.
What do you call a substance that changes from a gas to a solid?
Sublimation is the unique property in which a substance can go from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid. Sublimation is a phase transition.
What do you call the solid substance form during sublimation?
You may have your terms backward. Sublimation is the disappearance of the solid phase material in favor of the vapor phase material. No solid substance is formed during sublimation.
What is the explanation for the chemical meaning of sublimation?
Sublimation is the process in which a substance passes from the solid phase directly to the gas phase without passing through a liquid phase. Iodine is an example of a substance that sublimes.
What can be used to identify a substance or to predict how will behave?
Physical and chemical properties can be used to identify a substance or predict how it will behave.

What occur only on the surface of the substance?
sublimation
A sentence with sublimation?
In the process of sublimation, a substance goes from the solid state directly to the gas state.
Is the change of state of a substance from solid to vapor without passing through the liquid state.?
sublimation
What unit is used to identify concentration of a substance?
Molarity
What is used to identify an acid or a base?
the pH of the substance

What are some substances that display sublimation?
Well iodine,napthelene and camphour are some substance that show sublimation
When a substance experiences sublimation it has changed from what?
solid to gas
Substance chaing from a solid to a gas?
That is called sublimation.
