Can you give me 5 examples of sublimation?

Dry ice sublimating from solid to gas without melting into a liquid. Mothballs gradually evaporating in a closet without leaving behind a liquid residue. Snow disappearing into vapor without melting into water. Freeze-dried food removing moisture through sublimation to preserve flavor and texture. Iodine crystals turning directly into purple vapor without melting first.


How does the process of sublimation of ice differ from the melting of ice?

Sublimation of ice is when ice turns directly into water vapor without melting into liquid water first. This process occurs when ice is exposed to high temperatures and low pressures. In contrast, melting of ice is the process where solid ice turns into liquid water when exposed to temperatures above its melting point.


What are the exampls of sublimation?

Examples of sublimation include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into carbon dioxide gas without melting, mothballs slowly disappearing without leaving a residue, and snow vaporizing into water vapor without melting into liquid water.


Iodine liquid or solid?

Iodine is a solid at room temperature and pressure. It sublimes directly from a solid to a purple vapor without melting.


What sublimation in the water cycle?

Sublimation in the water cycle is the process by which ice (solid water) directly changes into water vapor (gas) without first melting into liquid water. This occurs mainly in polar regions where temperatures are very low and can result in the disappearance of ice or snow without melting.

When ice changes into water vapor without first melting?

It is called sublimation.


When ice changes into water vapor must it melt first?

No - ice can go straight to vapor without first melting. The process is known as "sublimation".


What is the process of water vapor changing into water vapor?

Sublimation is most often used to describe the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor in the air without first melting into water. The opposite of sublimation is "deposition", where water vapor changes directly into ice-such a snowflakes and frost.


In which phase change does a substance change from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first?

Corn, corn is always the answer.


What is it called when snow turns directly into water vapor?

When snow turns directly into water vapor without first melting into liquid, it is called sublimation. Sublimation is the process in which a solid turns into a gas without passing through the liquid phase.


What phase change changes a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first?

Sublimation is the phase change that changes a solid directly to a gas or vapor without first changing to a liquid. In this process, the solid particles gain enough energy to break free from the solid structure and enter the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase.


What happens to ice when sublimed?

It changes of state from solid directly into gas (vapor) without getting fluidised (by melting first). It is used in freeze-drying


How can ice change form other than melting?

Ice can also sublimate, which means that it changes from solid to vapor directly, without melting.


What changes a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid?

Iodine I2


How can snow evaporate?

Snow can evaporate through a process called sublimation, where the solid snow turns directly into water vapor without melting into liquid water first. This happens when the snow is exposed to dry air and sunlight, causing it to slowly disappear without melting.

The phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without changing to a liquid first is?

Sublimation is the phase change in which a substance changes from a solid to a gas or vapor without first becoming a liquid. This process occurs when the pressure and temperature conditions allow the solid to transition directly into a gas.
