The answer depends on the solid. Most solids do not turn to gas directly to gas, but melt, and then boil at a different temperature. Water does this; ice melts at 0o, and boils at 100o. Some materials go directly from solid to gas, a process called sublimation, two examples being carbon dioxide and iodine. But they do this at very different temperatures.

It depends on the solid in question. They all have different temperatures and most go into a liquid state first. (Some sublime and go straight into a gas)

Is a brass solid liquid or gas?

Depends on the temperature. the natural state is a solid. If you raise the temperature to its boiling state it will become a liquid and a further raise in temp will convert it to a vapor. (gas)

Is nitrogen a solid liquis or as?

Can be both, depends the temperature, if you cool it a lot it become liquid, at the atmosphere temperature will be a gas !. You can use it to inflate your tires i.e., at this temperature it will be a gas.


How can Carbon be a solid and a gas?

At normal pressure, all elements become gases by the time the temperature reaches 5869K. All but Helium become ordinary solids at the temperature is reduced. So there is nothing peculiar about carbon being a solid and a gas.


Is iron at room temperature solid liquid or gas?

Iron can be a solid, liquid, or gas because it is an element and elements can become all the forms of matter


When are boiling temperature and freezing temperature equal?

At the triple point for the substance. At that particular temperature and pressure you have solid, liquid and gas existing at the same time, so it will "boil" (become a vapor) and freeze (become a solid) at the same time.


Can nitrogen become a solid?

Yes, nitrogen can be liquified. It's a vey common process in fact. That is how it is transported. It is pressurized and stored in an insulated dewar. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen#Liquid_nitrogen By the way, any gas can be liquified if you reduce the temperature or increase the pressure sufficiently!


Is the Mercury becomes solid in hot and liquid in coolest temperature?

No, mercury does not become solid in hot temperature and liquid in coolest temperature. But mercury becomes gas or liquid in hot temperature and becomes solid in coolest temperature. Mercury becomes solid after freezing point of -38.72 degrees Celsius. Solid Mercury can become superconductor in reaching of its critical temperature 4.2 K. Mercury is liquid under the room temperature (25 degrees Celsius). Mercury becomes gas after boiling point of 357 degrees Celsius.


What is it called when solid turns into plasma?

A solid can't transform directly into a plasma. A plasma is an ionized gas, usually at a very high temperature. A solid has to melt then be vaporized into a gas (or in a few cases, sublimate from solid to gas) before it can become a plasma.
