The term Sublimate (a verb) describes what happens when a molecule 'contained' within a frozen crystal [for example a water (H2O) molecule contained within Water Ice] sublimes (another verb): it misses the liquid state and instead it Changes State directly from the Solid State into the Gaseous State - sublimation.

Water Activity on Mars exists but not [for long] in liquid form - however the Process of Sublimation {including the CO2 Cycle!} is what Martian Meteorology is all about.

Is there a discoverer of sublimation?

The concept of sublimation, the transition of a substance directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state, has been known for centuries. However, it was the French chemist Henri Victor Regnault who provided a scientific explanation for the process in the 19th century.


What are the six phase transitions in chemistry?

The six phase transitions in chemistry are melting, freezing, evaporating, condensing, sublimation, and deposition. These phase transitions are used to refer to how an element changes from one state to another.


What is use of sublimation process of chemistry?

Sublimation is the act of turning an molecule from its gaseous state directly to its solid state. A commonly used example is the sublimation of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into 'dry ice'. In the sublimation process, desiccation, or the removal of water, also occurs. (Hence the nickname 'dry' in dry ice) Although food products are not made from the process of sublimation, foods can be shipped with sublimed products (e.g. dry ice) in order to allow longer periods between packaging foods and cooking them.


What is the phase in chemistry where a gas chnges to a solid?

Solid to Gas phase change is called Sublimation


What you call the process in which a solid change to gas?

sublimation the most common example is iodine. it is a black solid but when heated it converts directly to a purple gas. i can never forget this fact because i accidentally dropped iodine sample on Bunsen burner while doing my chemistry practical in school.

What is a sentence using sublimation?

Sublimation is when it skips a step. it goes from solid phase to gas phase skipping liquid phase


What is the other name of sumblination?

The other name for sublimation is "sublimation of a substance." In the context of phase transitions, sublimation refers to the process where a solid transforms directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This term is commonly used in chemistry and physics.

What are the applications of sublimation in chemistry?

Sublimation is the primary process by which dry ice turns into carbon dioxide. This process uses energy from the atmosphere which causes a cooling effect. Many people use dry ice to keep things cold, such as during hunting or fishing trips.
