liquids don't sublimate, the definition of sublimation is a solid that changes directly into a gas with no liquid phase.
an example of this is dry ice, which go's straight from solid phase to gas phase.

What happens when iodine sublimates?
It goes from solid to gaseous form without passing through a liquid phase.
Why don't you see liquid carbon dioxide very often?
because it usually sublimates from a solid (dry ice) to a gas bypassing the liquid stage.
Is Dry ice solid liquid gas plasma?
It is usually a solid, which sublimates at room temperature to form a gas.
What does ice do when it sublimates?
melt
Why does iodine emit a purple gas when heated?
Because iodine sublimates, as do the other solid halogens. That means they go from solid to gas without becoming a liquid first.
Why dry ice is named so?
Carbon dioxide has no liquid form. The solid sublimates to gaseous form directly. Because it has no liquid form it can't be wet to the touch, like ice is, yet it looks like ice. Dry ice.
What is color of NH4Cl sublimates?
Green.
What is unusual aout bromine?
My chemistry is a litte rusty but I believe that Bromine is unusual because it sublimates - goes from solid phase to gaseous phase without going through liquid phase.
If you cool carbon dioxide below -78.5 C in what state will it be?
If u cool CO2 b low -78.5 C it will melt in2 a liquid. ( at -78.5 C CO2 sublimates )
What is the Common name for carbon dioxide?
Dry Ice. Unlike water, Carbon Dioxide doesn't melt, it sublimates; going directly from solid to gas without going through liquid.
Why dry ice is known as dry ice?
Solid carbon dioxide has the look and feel of ice (and is even colder). But it does not melt to a liquid, but sublimates to form a gas. So it is always dry.
What temperature does dry ice melt?
Dry ice doesn't melt. It sublimates at -78 0C, or -109 0F. Sublimation is a direct transition from a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid phase.
