That is an excellent question, I will be more than happy to answer it for you.. or at least try to.... lol
[DEFINITION OF SUBLIMATION]
------SUBLIMATION- is a phase change which a solid changes from a solid to a gas without changing into a liquid first just from a solid to gas (vapor)---------
Dry ice is the common name for a solid form of carbon dioxide or C02. At a room temperature it can change from a solid to a gas because the room temperature is hotter that of the carbon dioxide because is order for carbon dioxide to freeze you have to have it at, atleast a temperature of -109.3 degrees F so basicly it is super cooled. For a more basic understanding have you ever had a warm beverage during the winter?....yes? then you must see it's steam that it gives off.. same with C02 except it is in a solid form and the super cooled C02 gives off gasses because it is soo cold that once it hits the atmosphere that is warmer than it's original temperature it starts to melt, into a gas but remember it does ***not*** turn into a liquid, just from a solid to a gas (see vocab def. uptop) but while giving off gas at the same time.... do you understand?.....
if someone can improve this answer please go right ahead..that is very hard to explain...

What happen to dry ice if it is left on a table?
Sublimation - transformation in carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.
Change of state of solid to gas?
The process is called sublimation. Solids can turn directly into gases, and gases can turn directly into solid without ever being a liquid. Carbon dioxide (dry ice) is a common example of this. Other examples are mothballs, solid air fresheners (Air Wick), and iodine.
What is a common example of sublimation?
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.
Is CO2 an example of an atom?
Carbon dioxide is a molecule, not an atom.
Is heat lost gained or absorbed during sublimation?
Sublimation of a substance, for example, of frozen carbon dioxide or dry ice, involves the substance's absorbing heat energy from its surroundings. Hence, the dry ice itself gains the energy needed to change from solid to gas, and the surroundings lose the energy, and indeed are perceived as colder.

Dry ice is an example of which process?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. The conversion from solid to gas which carbon dioxide undergoes is called sublimination. the process where dry ice is changed into carbon dioxide is called sublimation.
What is it when a solid changes directly into a gas?
Sublimation. Example: Dry ice turning into carbon dioxide
When a solid change directly into a gas it what?
Sublimation. Example: Dry ice turning into carbon dioxide
What is a sentence for sublimation?
Here is an example sentence with the word "sublimate":Dry ice will sublimate into carbon dioxide when it is kept at room temperature.
What is dry ice and how is it connected to sublimation?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide goes from a solid phase to a gaseous phase without becoming a liquid and that transition is called sublimation.
When a chunk of dry ice is at room temperature a cloud of carbon dioxide vapor forms. The carbon dioxide is changing from a?
The solid carbon dioxide is transformed directly in gaseous carbon dioxide; this phenomenon is called sublimation.
When a chunk of dry ice is at room temperature a cloud of carbon dioxide vapor forms The carbon dioxide is changing from?
The solid carbon dioxide is transformed directly in gaseous carbon dioxide; this phenomenon is called sublimation.
Where is sublimation seen?
Sublimation can be seen when dry ice, or solid carbon dioxide, turns into smoke.
When a solid changes to a solid?
When a solid changes to a gas directly, it is known as sublimation. One example of this is dry ice becoming carbon dioxide.
What is the word for this definition the process in which a soild changes directly into a gas?
Sublimation The most common example is dry ice which is solid Carbon Dioxide.
What does frozen carbon dioxide undergo?
if it is taken out of the deep freeze it will undergo sublimation.
What is the name of the process due to which ice changes into carbon dioxide gas?
sublimation
