Sublimation is not a reaction, but a physical change (change of state or phase). The solid turns instantly to gas, rather than first going to liquid state. At the right temperature and pressure, this can happen.
A common example of this is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turns to carbon dioxide gas without first going through the liquid phase. This occurs, because liquid carbon dioxide cannot exist at 1 atmosphere pressure.
Sublimation can happen with solid water (ice) as well, at the right temperature. Ice cubes in a freezer can seemingly disappear over time.

A change of state where energy is given off?
Endothermic Reaction. Exothermic is a chemical reaction in which energy must be provided.
How do you draw a sublimation curve?
Using a triple point phase diagram or "line graph chart" with temperature and pressure on the outsides then draw the reaction.
What is the name of a solid turning into a gas?
sublimationAnswersublimation AnswerSublimation Its Sublimation
Which type of reaction rate is the fastest?
Explosion is a type of fast reaction.
What type of reaction is acetone reacted with triiodomethane?
An iodoform reaction is the type of reaction when acetone reacts with triiodomethane.
Is burning woo sublimation?
Burning is a chemical reaction between a substance and oxygen. Sublimation is a type of physical state change produced by changes in temperature and/or pressure; it is not a chemical reaction. Sublimation is not the same as combustion.
Is sublimation fast reaction?
Not necessarily.
Is sublimation exothermic or endothermic?
Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition from solid to gaseous state.
When a compound is released into the air what is the chemical reaction called?
Sublimation
What describes a way to turn a solid into a gas without a chemical reaction?
sublimation.
Is condacation and sublimation a type of evapazation?
Yes it is
Is sublimation a vice versa process?
Sublimation is not a chemical reaction but a phase transition phenomenon; the reverse phenomenon is named deposition.
What is another type of vaporization besides sublimation?
cvbnm,.
Why is the sublimation of dry ice and the expansion of gases not chemical reations?
A chemical reaction is one that changes the chemical properties of a substance. Sublimation is just going from solid to a gas and is only a change of state.
What type of phase change is happening as a solid changes to gas without becoming to a liquid?
Sublimation occurs when solid changes directly to liquid without changing to solid state. Applying pressure and reducing temperature can liquefy gases.
A change of state where energy is given off?
Endothermic Reaction. Exothermic is a chemical reaction in which energy must be provided.
How do you draw a sublimation curve?
Using a triple point phase diagram or "line graph chart" with temperature and pressure on the outsides then draw the reaction.
