Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. The conversion from solid to gas which carbon dioxide undergoes is called sublimination.
the process where dry ice is changed into carbon dioxide is called sublimation.

What is the word for this definition the process in which a soild changes directly into a gas?
Sublimation The most common example is dry ice which is solid Carbon Dioxide.
What is the process of dry ice being exposed to the air and changing into a vapor?
"sublimation"
What is use of sublimation process of chemistry?
Sublimation is the act of turning an molecule from its gaseous state directly to its solid state. A commonly used example is the sublimation of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into 'dry ice'. In the sublimation process, desiccation, or the removal of water, also occurs. (Hence the nickname 'dry' in dry ice) Although food products are not made from the process of sublimation, foods can be shipped with sublimed products (e.g. dry ice) in order to allow longer periods between packaging foods and cooking them.
Can a solid change into a gas without being a liquid first?
Yes, you can turn a gas into a solid. Think first about the opposite: turning a solid into a gas. That is a common experience. Under ordinary conditions "dry ice", which is solid carbon dioxide, evaporates directly into a gas without first melting. (That's why it's called "dry".) The evaporation of a solid into a gaseous form is called "sublimation". Its all through low pressure.
Is dry ice a element?
Dry ice is not an element. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a compound.
What is an example of sublimation vapor to solid?
A vapor changing into a solid goes through a process called deposition. One example of this process is frost forming on leaves.
Where is the thermal energy coming from causing dry ice to sublimate?
It's the same principle as if a liquid is evaporating, for example. It requires thermal energy to evaporate the liquid, or to sublimate a solid; therefore, this process will cool down (in this example) the dry ice, and the surrounding air.
What is the word for this definition the process in which a soild changes directly into a gas?
Sublimation The most common example is dry ice which is solid Carbon Dioxide.
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 an example of gas to solid process?
An example of a solid going directly into the gas phase is frozen carbon dioxide, known as dry ice, forming a kind of "fog". This process is called sublimation, and in this case the carbon dioxide sublimes. You can observe the sublimation of frozen carbon dioxide as a kind of "fog".
What is an example of a solid directly to a gas?
Dry Ice
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 happens when dry ice melts?
Rather than melts, dry ice evaporates. This process is called sublimation and happens at a slower rate than the melting of water ice.
What process occurs of pieces of dry ice gradually get smaller?
sublimation
What is the process called when a solid changes to a gas?
Sublimation. It is a physical change, like all state changes. An example of a substance that does this is carbon dioxide (dry ice.)
Can a solid change into gas?
Yes. Dry ice, for example.
What is the definition of dry ice?
Dry ice is nothing more then frozen carbon dioxide. It is frozen to -109.6°F. Dry ice doesn't actually melt. It turns in to carbon dioxide gas through a process called Sublimation.
