Dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes- the cold CO2 - the "fog" is caused by condensation of water vapour in the air.
Another example is solid iodine, which when heated in a test tube sublimes and precipiattes at the cool end of the tube.

What is The term used for conversion of solid to vapour?
Sublimation Note: the term for the changing of a gas to a solid is condensation.
What do you call the process of a solid changing to a gas?
sublimation. for example when dry ice changes directly to a gas.
What is sublimation and give an example of a substance that sublimes?
If zinc chloride is heated strongly the solid will sublime.
Is sublimation the way a balloon decreases in volume when the temperature is decreased?
No. Sublimation is when a solid changes it's state to a gas or when a gas changes it's state to a solid. Example : Dry ice (solid CO2) sublimates to gaseous CO2.
What do you meant by sublimation also give example?
Sublimation is the process of direct transformation of a solid in a gas: examples are iodine, naphthalene, dry ice, camphor.
What is The term used for conversion of solid to vapour?
Sublimation Note: the term for the changing of a gas to a solid is condensation.
Is sublimation the change from a solid tout becoming a liquid first?
No it directly changes from solid to vapour
What is sublimation used for?
sublimation is a process in which a solid is directly converted to its vapour phase without facing liquid phase.
Solid condensation on a surface that is below 0C is known as?
Water vapour changing to solid on a surface is sublimation of the vapour. For water the product is referred to as rime or hoarfrost.
What is a type of vaporization that takes place on the surface of the liquid?
Evaporation s a liquid turning to a vapour. A solid turning directly to a vapour is sublimation
Solid changing into a gas?
sublimation. example dry ice
Is heat released or absorbed during sublimination?
Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas. During sublimation the solid gains energy to turn into a solid.
Five physical change?
1) melting from solid to liquid; 2) evaporationfrom liquid to vapour;3) sublimation direct from solid to vapour; 4) grinding to make a solid into a powder; 5) dissolving a solid in a solute; 6) freezing from a liquid to a solid.
What do you call the process of a solid changing to a gas?
sublimation. for example when dry ice changes directly to a gas.
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.
Give you an examples of sublimation in science?
The opposite of sublimation, where a solid changes to a gas is called deposition, NOT SUBLIMATION! Hope that clears it up :).
What do you call when solid is changed into gas?
sublimation. for example when camphor is heated at atmospheric pressure it will not melt but get sublimed into vapour phase. similarly it is possible to sublime ice into water vapour without converting into liquid-water by applying very low pressure.
