Question

What is sublimation answer in one sentence​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When anything solid turns into a gas without first becoming liquid, that's sublimation. When the surface layer of snow or ice turns into fog or steam without melting, this is an example of sublimation.

Answer 2

Sublimation is the phase conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage.

Explanation:

• Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from a solid-state to a gas state without passing through liquid phase.

• It is an endothermic phase transitions that occur at temperature and pressure below the triple point.

• It applies to physical changes of state and not to the transformation of a solid into a gas during a chemical reaction.

Applications of sublimation:

• Sublimation and erosion cause ablation, a process that wears down glaciers.

• Sublimation of iodine may be used to reveal latent fingerprints on paper.

• Sublimation is used to purify compounds. It is especially useful for organic compounds.

Examples of sublimation:

• Freezer burn results from the sublimation of ice into water vapor.
• At the right temperature, the elements iodine and arsenic will sublimate from solid form into gaseous form.
• Naphthalene, a chemical commonly used in mothballs, readily sublimates at room temperature and pressure.
• Water ice will sublimate, although more slowly than dry ice. The effect can be seen over snowfields when the sun is out but the temperature is cold.
