A phase change from solid directly to gas is called sublimation. A common example of sublimation is that of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).

Solid to gas is evaporation. Solid to liquid condensation. Both are phase transitions.

What is the Solid to liquid and liquid to solid process?

Going from a solid to a gas is "Sublimation" Going from gas to a solid is "Desublimation" or "Deposition"


The conversion of a solid to liquid is called?

You should know the names of the process for these phase transitions. sublimation deposition SOLID ============> GAS ==============> SOLID melting freezing SOLID ============> LIQUID =============> SOLID (solidfication) condensation vaporization GAS =============> LIQUID =============> GAS


What are the processes in changing one phase to another phase of matter?

Changes in state are called phase transitions. Each of the phase transitions has a technical name and many have common names. The change from solid to liquid is fusion (or melting). The change from liquid to solid is solidification (or freezing). The change from liquid to gas is vaporization (or boiling). The change from gas to liquid is condensation. The change from solid to gas is sublimation.


Is ice going from a solid to a liquid to a gas a physical change?

Both transitions, from solid to liquid and liquid to gas are purely Physical Changes. There is nothing Chemical happening.


Name and describe the state changes in which solids and liquids become gases.?

The state change in which a solid becomes a gas is called sublimation. This occurs when a solid substance directly transitions into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. The state change in which a liquid becomes a gas is called evaporation or vaporization. This occurs when a liquid substance turns into a gas by absorbing heat energy.


What is the process of converting a gas to a liquid is called?

evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation


The process of converting a liquid to a gas is called what?

evaporation solid to liquid - melting liquid to gas - evaporation gas to liquid - condensation liquid to solid - freezing solid to gas and gas to solid - sublimation


To change from a gas to a liquid is called?

'boiling' or 'vaporization'


How each state changes and what it is called?

* solid to liquid: melting* liquid to solid: freezing* liquid to gas: vaporization* gas to liquid: liquefaction* solid to gas: sublimation* gas to solid: deposition


How does heating and cooling cause changes in matter?

When you heat something, you get to do from solid to liquid, and that called melting. The liquid to a gas its called vaporzation and evaporation. A solid to a gas its called sublimation. When you cool something, you get to do from gas to liquid its called condensation. A liquid to a solid called freezing. A gas turn straight to a solid called deposition.


What is the other called for solid liquid and gas?

Solid, liquid, gas are classical states of matter.


What do phase diagrams describe for a particular substance?

Solid, liquid, gas phases and their transitions vs. temperature & pressure.
