Only some substances sublime because of pressure. Some solids have a high enough vapor pressure and triple point that makes them sublime in the air, which may be easier than evaporating.

Which substance will sublime at room temperature?

CO2(s) and I2(s) Carbon dioxide as a solid and iodine crystals as solids. These are the two most important sublimation compounds! When I say sublimation, you say CARBON DIOXIDE AND IODINE! :)


Can solid carbondioxide sublime on heating?

Yes, solid carbon dioxide, also known as dry ice, can sublime directly from a solid to a gas when heated. This means it skips the liquid phase and turns directly into carbon dioxide gas. Sublimation occurs because the pressure and temperature conditions allow the solid to transition directly into a gas.


Do the sublime elements have liquid state?

No, the sublime elements do not have a liquid state. Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. Examples of substances that sublime include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and camphor.


Will sugar sublime?

No. Sugar is a solid. When heated, it will burn, but not sublime. (To sublime is to go from the solid state to the gaseous state with no liquid state in between. The most common thing that will sublime is solid carbon dioxide, which we know as "dry ice". It's a solid below about -109F, and sublimes into the gaseous state above that. Carbon dioxide has no liquid state at atmospheric pressure; it is only liquid below 0 degrees F at pressures above 60PSI.)


What is sublimation and examples of substances that can sublime?

Sublimation is the process by which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. This occurs when the substance's vapor pressure exceeds its triple point pressure. Examples of substances that can sublime include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), camphor, and iodine.

What changes from a solid directly to a gas?

Carbon dioxide and Iodine both sublime directly from solids to gases.

How many substances sublime?

There are various substances that can sublime, including iodine, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), and camphor. Sublimation is the process where a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.


What are the four substances that sublime?

Carbon dioxide (CO2), iodine (I2), "moth balls," which are mostly naphthalene (C10H8), and arsenic (As) at really high temperatures.


How do you say carbon dioxide in french?

dioxyde de carbone


Why could you say that the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle is balance?

because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide

How do you say sublime in french?

Sublime is actually a French word, so you just say sublime!


What are some substances that can change directly from gas to solid states?

Iodine does not go through a liquid when changing phase. Carbon dioxide does not go through liquid phase. Both iodine and carbon dioxide sublime from a solid to a gas and condense from the gas to a solid.
