What is the process when steam goes directly to ice called?

The process when steam goes directly to ice is called deposition. It involves the direct transition of water vapor (gas) to solid ice without passing through the liquid phase.


Is ice solid or liquid or gas?

Ice is a solid.Water vapor is a gas.Water is a liquid.


Why is vapor the same to ice?

No. Vapor is a substance in its gaseous state. Ice is water in its solid state.


What occurs during dry ice sublimation?

solid ice to vapor


What forms when water vapor changes directly into ice without becoming a liquid first?

When water vapor changes directly into ice without becoming a liquid first, it forms a process known as deposition. This occurs when the water vapor undergoes a phase transition from a gas to a solid, bypassing the liquid phase.


Why does water vapor sometimes turn directly into solid ice?

Water vapor can turn directly into solid ice through a process called deposition when the air temperature is cold enough that the vapor skips the liquid phase. This commonly occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a surface or particle that is below freezing, causing it to directly transition into ice crystals without passing through the liquid state.


When water vapor changes directly into ice crystals with out passing through the liquid state what it is formed?

The process is called deposition - the direct transition of water vapor to ice without first becoming a liquid. This typically occurs when the air is very cold and the water vapor in the air condenses directly into ice crystals.


What makes a solid to a gas?

If the vapor pressure of the material of the solid is greater than the partial pressure of the same material in the atmosphere around it, it will turn to gas. The process of direct transition from solid to gas is called sublimation. Some solids, like dry ice (frozen CO2) will sublimate at room pressure. Others would require dropping the pressure very low. As an alternative, you could raise the temperature of the solid (consequently raising the vapor pressure) or get it to melt and then turn to gas when it boils.


What is an example of sublimation vapor to solid?

A vapor changing into a solid goes through a process called deposition. One example of this process is frost forming on leaves.


What process does not involve water vapor?

Sublimation is a process that does not involve water vapor. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase, such as when dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turns into carbon dioxide gas.


What does the word sublimation mean in the water cycle?

In the water cycle, sublimation refers to the process by which water transforms from a solid (ice or snow) directly into water vapor without melting into a liquid first. This occurs primarily in cold environments when there is enough energy for the water molecules to transition from a solid state to a gaseous state.


What involves changes of solid to vapor but no liquid is form?

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. This process occurs when the atmospheric pressure is lower than the substance's equilibrium vapor pressure. Examples include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and mothballs (naphthalene).
