he process by which solids are transformed directly to the vapor state without passing through the liquid phase. Sublimation is of considerable importance in the purification of certain substances such as iodine, naphthalene, and sulfur.
Sublimation is a universal phenomenon exhibited by all solids at temperatures below their triple points. For example, it is a common experience to observe the disappearance of snow from the ground even though the temperature is below the freezing point and liquid water is never present. The rate of disappearance is low, of course, because the vapor pressure of ice is low below its triple point. Sublimation is a scientifically and technically useful phenomenon, therefore, only when the vapor pressure of the solid phase is high enough for the rate of vaporization to be rapid. See also phase-equilibrium; triple-point; vapor-pressure.

What else can I help you with?
When matter changes from one state to another?
Condensation (gas to liquid or solid or liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid or solid to gas), sublimation (solid to gas), solidification (liquid to solid), or melting (solid to liquid).
What can liquid change into?
A solid, or even a gas. And back again (improved)liquid is a state of matter, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas. therefore, liquid can be changed into a solid or a gas. to do so, just change the temperature of the matter. :-D
What are the 4 phases that changes solid liquid gas and plasma?
There are five common state changes between the three common states of matter. They are melting (solid to liquid), freezing (liquid to solid), condensation (gas to liquid), evaporation (gas to liquid) and sublimation (solid to gas, gas to solid).
Structure and properties of matter?
solid, liquid, and gases
State of matter can be changed by temperature or what?
Yes - solid-liquid-gas can be changed by temperature.
What state of matter is this solid liquid gas?
Which solid liquid gas?
What are the changes in state of matter?
The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. A solid melts to become liquid and a liquid evaporates to become gas. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to gas.
How are the state changes of water similar to the state changes in most other substances?
These changes of state are: solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to gas, gas to solid. The majority of substances have these state of matter changes.
How are the state changes of similar to the states changes in most other substances?
These changes of state are: solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to gas, gas to solid. The majority of substances have these state of matter changes.
When matter changes from one state to another?
Condensation (gas to liquid or solid or liquid to solid), vaporization (liquid or solid to gas), sublimation (solid to gas), solidification (liquid to solid), or melting (solid to liquid).
Matter can exist in this state or as a liquid or gas?
Solid state
Described by a change in state of matter solid liquid gas?
state of matter
What are the changes in state and states of matter?
Solid to liquid is melting Liquid to Gas is evaporation Solid to gas is sublimination Liquid to solid is freezing Gas to liquid is condensing
What is the state of matter of an object?
Some states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. These are distinct and different forms in which matter can exist in nature.
Changes in state of matter are?
Gas, liquid,or solid
A solid liquid gas and plasma are?
A state of matter
What is the state if matter of oxygen?
gas liquid and solid
