Dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes- the cold CO2 - the "fog" is caused by condensation of water vapour in the air.

Another example is solid iodine, which when heated in a test tube sublimes and precipiattes at the cool end of the tube.

Is sublimation common on Earth?

Yes, very common. The ice sheets and glaciers diminish by the process of sublimation. The direct passing from solid to vapour without an intervening water phase.

sublimation. for example when dry ice changes directly to a gas.


What do you call when solid is changed into gas?

sublimation. for example when camphor is heated at atmospheric pressure it will not melt but get sublimed into vapour phase. similarly it is possible to sublime ice into water vapour without converting into liquid-water by applying very low pressure.


Give you an examples of sublimation in science?

An example of sublimation in science is dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide that changes directly into carbon dioxide gas when heated. Another example is the process of freeze drying, where water is removed from a substance by sublimation under low pressure and temperature conditions.


Is heat released or absorbed during sublimination?

Heat is absorbed during sublimation, as the process involves a solid turning directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This requires energy input to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together and to overcome the forces of attraction between the solid molecules.
