Can solids turn into gases

Answer 1

When a solid turns directly into a gas, without passing through a liquid phase, it is called sublimation.

A well-known example is the sublimation of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) into gas at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of -78.5 oC (about -104 oF). This is sometimes used in theatres or nightclubs to produce a dense fog which remains close to the ground.

Answer 2

Not always. For a solid to become a gas, it has to also be able to exist in a liquid form. A substance cannot go straight from solid to gas, it must change from a liquid into a gas. For example, ice will become water which can become water vapor. In contrast, a block of wood cannot become a liquid, which means it cannot become a gas.

However, even though metals can be turned to liquid when heated to very high temperatures, most do not have a gaseous form.

Answer 3

Yes, solids can turn into gases through a process called sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid transitions directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. An example of this is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into carbon dioxide gas.

Answer 4

Yes.... Your bum is a solid and that produces a nice smelling gas. YES
