It doesn't exactly "skip" the liquid phase, it's just that at normal atmospheric pressure there IS no liquid phase for carbon dioxide. At higher pressures, it is possible to liquefy carbon dioxide. There's no simplistic explanation for why the triple point pressure for carbon dioxide is higher than around 100 kPa, it just is.

Is a chemical change an example of a sublimation?

Sublimation is a physical change, not a chemical change. The best known example is when dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide, turns into a vapor, which is just carbon dioxide gas. It skips over the liquid phase. Because you're just changing from one state of matter to another, it's a physical change just like melting ice or boiling water.


What is a solid that turns into gas called?

The process of a solid turning directly into a gas is called sublimation. This occurs when the solid skips the liquid phase and changes directly into a gas. An example of a substance that undergoes sublimation is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).


What is sublimating dry ice?

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. It needs to be cooled to about -70 degrees Celsius in order for carbon dioxide to be solid at normal pressure. Since normal temperatures are higher than this dry ice is going to change state. Carbon dioxide will only form a liquid at higher pressure than normal. This means that dry ice will change directly from solid to gas. This is called sublimation.


What is the phase called when you change a solid into a gas?

The phase change from a solid to a gas is called sublimation. In sublimation, the solid skips the liquid phase and directly turns into a gas.


What changes from a solid to a gas but skips the liquid?

The process in which a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas is called sublimation. This occurs when the substance's vapor pressure exceeds its melting point, causing it to transition directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.

sublimation..dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.. it skips a liquid phase and changes directly from a solid to a gas when its temperature rises


When does solid turns straight into a gas?

Solid turns directly into gas through the process of sublimation. This occurs when the solid is heated and skips the liquid phase to directly become a gas. An example of this is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into carbon dioxide gas without melting.

Can solid carbondioxide sublime on heating?

Yes, solid carbon dioxide, also known as dry ice, can sublime directly from a solid to a gas when heated. This means it skips the liquid phase and turns directly into carbon dioxide gas. Sublimation occurs because the pressure and temperature conditions allow the solid to transition directly into a gas.

When is carbon dioxide a liquid?

Carbon Dioxide does not turn into a liquid. It changes state from a gas to a solid or solid to a gas. This is called sublimation. It does not enter the state or liquid which is unusual. This applies when the carbon dioxide is subjected to standard pressure. However, there is a way of manipulating the pressure on the carbon dioxide to give it a liquid state of matter. The critical temperature for carbon dioxide is 88 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the maximum temperature at which carbon dioxide can be a liquid. Therefore, the temperature must be below 88 degrees Fahrenheit to keep it at a liquid state. The carbon dioxide must be pressurized to at least 5.1 ATM to remain a liquid no matter how cold.


What chilly solid changes directly to a gas at -78.5 celsius?

Frozen Carbon Dioxide also called dry ice. The behavior you describe happens only at pressure less than 5 times sea-level atmospheric pressure. Above that pressure, carbon dioxide has the familiar three states ... solid when it's chilly, liquid when it melts, and gas when it gets warm enough. The range of temperature across which it remains liquid depends on the pressure.
