Absolutely.

In this case, sublimation means that the solid form of water (ice & snow) will bypass the liquid stage and turn directly into a gas (water vapor). This occurs when the air is dry enough and there is sufficient energy present to convert the relatively stable ice/snow molecules into gas. The energy specifically is provided by photons from the sun.

Thus, later in the winter and during high noon (on a sunny day) the conditions are most favorable for sublimation of snow to occur. The snow pack disappears without ever becoming water!

Change in state when sulphur is heated?

When sulfur is heated, it undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid, and then from liquid to gas due to sublimation. Sulphur does not undergo a direct change from solid to gas.


Which of the fallowing can undergo sublimation carbon or sodium or oxygen or iodine?

Iodine can undergo sublimation, a process where a substance transitions from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Carbon can also undergo sublimation under specific conditions. Sodium and oxygen do not typically undergo sublimation.

Does potassium permanganate and copper sulphate undergo sublimation?

No, potassium permanganate and copper sulfate do not undergo sublimation. Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. Potassium permanganate and copper sulfate undergo a different process known as decomposition when heated.

How do you separate naphthalene from sand?

One way to separate naphthalene from sand is by sublimation. By heating the mixture, the naphthalene will undergo sublimation, turning into a gas and leaving behind the sand. The gas can then be collected and cooled back into solid naphthalene.


What types of physical or state changes can solids undergo?

Solids can undergo changes such as melting, sublimation, and deformation. Melting occurs when a solid turns into a liquid, sublimation is when a solid transitions directly into a gas, and deformation involves the restructuring of the solid's shape without changing its state.


What does not undergo sublimation snow iodine wood or dry ice?

Wood does not undergo sublimation. Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Snow, iodine, and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) can undergo sublimation under specific conditions. However, wood undergoes a different process called pyrolysis when heated, where it decomposes into volatile gases and charcoal rather than sublimating.


Name 4 substances that undergo sublimation?

Sublimation is, in fact, a universal phenomenon exhibited by all solids at temperatures below their triple points. However, sublimation is a scientifically and technically useful phenomenon only when the vapor pressure of the solid phase is high enough for the rate of vaporization to be rapid. Four of such solids include iodine, sulphur, naphthalene, and even dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).
