When a solid is converted directly to a gas the change in state is called?

sublimination


When a substance exists as a liquid or solid under ordinary conditions its gas phase is called a?

It's called sublimination


What involves changes of solid to vapor but no liquid is form?

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. This process occurs when the atmospheric pressure is lower than the substance's equilibrium vapor pressure. Examples include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and mothballs (naphthalene).


What is the Sublimination?

Sublimation is when a solid turns into a gas... when water turns into ice it solidifies... when ice turns into water it melts... when ice turns into steam it is sublimation.


What rule can you state about the relationship between phase chages and temperature?

Phase changes absorb or release heat energy. Condensation (from gas to liquid or gas to solid) releases the most heat. The gas molecule, flying around at the speed of sound, had more energy than when it is condensed in a liquid. That difference in energy is released as heat. That's why a steam burn can be so bad - it is a lot of heat. Evaporation (liquid to gas) and sublimination (solid to gas like dry ice reating a CO2 fog) absorb heat. That's why sweating cools you. The water absorbs a lot of heat as it evaporates. The energy amounts are equal and opposite of condensation. Melting (solid to liquid) absorbs heat and freezing releases heat. So your freezer must pump heat out of the ice tray to make ice cubes. Those ice cubes, when in a drink, cool the drink by absorbing heat as they melt.

Why do mothballs disappear at room temperature?

Mothballs contain chemicals that slowly turn from a solid into a gas at room temperature, a process called sublimation. As the chemicals vaporize, the mothballs shrink in size and eventually disappear as the gas dissipates into the air.

Dry ice is an example of which process?

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. The conversion from solid to gas which carbon dioxide undergoes is called sublimination. the process where dry ice is changed into carbon dioxide is called sublimation.
