Is a change in phase a chemical or physical change?

A phase change is when matter changes into another form but keeps its properties.For example, ice melting into water is an example of the phase change melting.The main types of phase changes are melting, vaporization, freezing and condensation.- Melting is when a solid turns into a liquid.- Freezing is when a liquid turns into a solid.- Vaporization is when a liquid turns into a gas. Boiling is a form of vaporization when the change takes place throughout the liquid. Evaporation is a form of vaporization in which the phase change takes place only at the top of the liquid.- Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid.- There is also sublimation, which is when a solid turns directly into a gas.- Deposition is when a gas turns directly into a solid.


How does sublimation differ from melting?

Melting is solid to liquid. Sublimation is a change from solid to gas with no liquid stage. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates directly to carbon dioxide gas. No liquid- hence "dry" ice.


Change from a solid to a gas and vice versa?

The solid -> gas transition is called sublimation. The gas -> solid transition is called deposition.


True or False Sublimation is a change from solid to gas?

Yes, sublimation is a change from solid to gas.


What is the phase change of matter from the solid to gas form called?

Evaporation would be the phase change from liquid to gas. The phase change from solid to gas is called sublimation. A liquid can also boil and become a gas.

What change takes place when a solid changes directly to a solid?

Sublimitatition IS WHEN A SOLID TURNS DIRECTLY INTO A GAS! DEPOSITION IS WHEN A GAS TURNS DIRECTLY INTO A SOLID!


What happens when solid turns into gas?

The gas can't generally turn straight into a solid, it has to change into a liquid and then a solid. When a gas turns into a liquid, the particles go closer together into groups and condensate. When the liquid turns into a solid, the particles all compress into a small space thus making a solid object.-----------------------------------------------------------------------But the phenomenon of change from a gas to a solid is also very known and is called deposition.


Can sublimation change liquid into a gas?

Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas. E.g Dry ice is a solid but slowly turns into a gas, it doesn't go into a liquid. Evaporation is liquid to gas.


Why does water change into a solid when it is heated?

It doesn't, water turns into steam, or a gas when heated. Water turns into a solid when cooled


What is a solid that turns into gas called?

When a solid turns into a gas, it is called sublimation.


What is it called when water turns straight form solid to gas?

Sublimation is a change of a substance from solid to gas without becoming liquid.

Sublimation is the process by which?

It is the process from when a solid turns into a gas.


What do you call it when gas turns into a solid?

When a substance goes from a gas to a solid it is called deposition.


What is the name for when a gas turns into a solid?

when a solid turns to a gas it is called "deposition" No, when a solid turns into a gas it is called sublimation. You might be thinking the other way round.


During the process of sublimation what happens?

A solid (like dry ice- solid carbon dioxide) turns directly to a gas, without being a liquid.


What do you call when gas turns into a solid?

The phase change from gas to solid without first going through a liquid phase is called "deposition."
