Distinguish sublimate from sublime
Answers
Hi friend
How are you?
Here is your answer:-
ANSWER:-
The key difference between sublime and sublimate is that the sublime refers to the verb describing the sublimation process whereas the sublimate refers to a noun that describes the end product of sublimation.
Sublimation is the process of the transition from a solid phase into a gas phase directly, without going through a liquid phase. This is an endothermic phase transition reaction in chemistry. When considering the sublimation process, it takes place at temperatures and pressures below the triple point of a substance. The triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which that substance can coexist in all three phases of matter (solid, liquid and gas phase) in thermodynamic equilibrium. Desublimation, on the other hand, refers to the conversion of gaseous phase back to the solid phase directly; without going through a liquid phase. The two terms sublime and sublimate describe two different points of the sublimation process as stated above, in the key difference.
The term sublime is a verb that we use to name the process of sublimation. When we say we are going to sublime a substance, that means we are going to convert the phase of that substance from its solid phase to the gas phase without passing through its liquid phase
For example, dry ice undergoes sublimation at room temperature and pressure to form carbon dioxide vapour. There we say, “dry ice sublimes to produce carbon dioxide vapour”.
What is Sublimate?
The term sublimate refers to the chemical product that we obtain from the process of sublimation. This means, sublimate is the name we give to the end product of the sublimation process.
Usually, the sublimate is a gaseous compound because always the sublimation forms a gaseous product out of the solid product. For example, the sublimate of the sublimation of the dry ice is carbon dioxide vapour.
I hope this answer may help you.
Thank you,
Goodbye and have a nice day.
Answer:
Explanation:
sublime is (chemistry|physics) to sublimate while sublimate is (ambitransitive|physics) to change state from a solid to a gas (or from a gas to a solid) without passing through the liquid state
