Can a solid turn into a gas and then into a solid again?

Answer 1

Solids can turn directly into gases without ever being a liquid. Carbon dioxide (dry ice) is a common example of this. The process is called sublimation. Gases can also change directly into a solid without ever becoming a liquid. This process is called deposition. I sub freezing temperatures water vapor changes directly into ice crystals. The formation of frost, and snow in clouds, are both examples of deposition.

Answer 2

i need a bit more information in order to answer this but i might know what u r saying.

i need a bit of clarification on this part tho:

so u have a solid and the solid turns to a liquid. is it that SAME liquid that is turning to a gas or are u just talking about liquids in general.

i dont really get your question but i think i can be of some help.

if an object is in a closed system then it will still have the same mass no matter what state the object turns into. i think this might be true with weight also, but im not sure

Answer 3

Yes, a solid can turn directly into a gas through a process called sublimation, and then the gas can turn back into a solid through deposition. This is known as the sublimation and deposition phase transitions. An example of this is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into gas and then back into solid carbon dioxide.
