When ice sublimes, the molecules at the edge of the ice escape into the gas phase as water vapor. The solid phase thus turns directly into the gas phase without an intermediary liquid phase. Ice sublimes quite slowly under normal conditions, but dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimes readily at everyday temperatures and pressures.

Why is iodine heated gently?
Because it sublimes that is it directly forms into a solid
What solid sublimes on heating?
Some solids are Carbon dioxide, Snow, Iodine and Naphthalene
What is the boiling point of coal?
coal sublimes from solid to gas so it doesn't boil.
Can carbon dioxide change from a solid directly into a gas?
Yes, this is why solid carbon dioxide is often called "dry ice." Instead of melting, it sublimes directly from a solid into a gas.
Why ammonium chloride not exists in liquid state?
Because it changes directly from solid to gas when heated. It sublimes.
What happens when a substance changes from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid?
It sublimes
What do particles of a solid do when the solid sublimes?
Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.
What is it when a solid goes straight to a gas?
Deposition when passing from gas to solid, sublimes when in the opposite direction.
Why does putting dry ice in water increase the amount of gas produced?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, which sublimes (goes directly from a solid to a gas). So it releases the gas as it sublimes.
Why is iodine heated gently?
Because it sublimes that is it directly forms into a solid
What do the particles of a solid do when the solid sublime?
Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.
What is the process called when solid turns directly into grass?
Solid to gas is sublimationDiamond sublimes. Liquid diamond is not achievable.
What solid sublimes on heating?
Some solids are Carbon dioxide, Snow, Iodine and Naphthalene
What is the boiling point of coal?
coal sublimes from solid to gas so it doesn't boil.
What is sublimation and give an example of a substance that sublimes?
If zinc chloride is heated strongly the solid will sublime.
What happens when you add dry ice to warm water?
There will be fake fog as it sublimes
Can carbon dioxide change from a solid directly into a gas?
Yes, this is why solid carbon dioxide is often called "dry ice." Instead of melting, it sublimes directly from a solid into a gas.
