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.

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. at atmospheric pressure (1 atm), CO2 cannot exist as a liquid. most compounds, like water for instance, will undergo three distinct phases at atmospheric pressure and sub-plasma temperatures. If you alter the pressure or the temperature, you will alter the points at which the molecule in question will change its phase.

The process of sublimation is when a substance goes from a solid to a gas without the liquid state in between. Carbon dioxide readily sublimes at room temperature from dry ice to gaseous CO2.

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! :)


What changes from a solid directly to a gas?

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


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.)


Is carbon dioxide a sublime substance?

No, I would not call CO2 a sublime (unparalleled; supreme) substance, However, CO2 does sublimate (to change directly from a solid to a vapour or gas without first melting).


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 sublime in french?

Sublime in French is "sublime." It is an adjective used to describe something of outstanding beauty or excellence.


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

because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide


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

because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide


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.


How many substances sublime?

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.


What are four things that can sublime?

Iodine, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), naphthalene (mothballs), and camphor are examples of substances that can sublime. Sublimation is the process by which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.


Is carbon dioxide a molecule of an element or compound?

carbon dioxide CO2 is a compound because it contains two different elements that is to say carbon and oxygen
