What causes ice to change into water vapor?

Direct transformation of a solid to a gas is called sublimation.


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 is the difference between water vapor and water ice?

Liquid water is a liquid, ice is a solid and water vapor is a gas.


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.


Solid turns to luquid?

Yes, for example if an ice cube (solid) melts than that water (liquid) evaporates and turns in to water vapor than the solid did turn into a gas from ice cube to water vapor.


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 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.


Is H2O a solid liquid or gas?

H2O is water. It can be all three. As a solid, it is ice. As a liquid, it is water in the sense of bottled water. As a gas it is water vapor (an example of water vapor is steam).


What process by which water vapor changes to a solid?

Condensation, which changes vapor to liquid water, and freezing, which changes liquid water to solid ice.


What is the title when a gas turns to a solid?

This phase transition of gas to solid is called Deposition and is also known as Desublimation (solid to gas being sublimation). An example, in sub-freezing air, water vapor changes directly to ice without changing to liquid first. That is how snow forms in clouds.
