answer:
- fill in the blank(s):
______________ is the process in which a solid changes directly to a gas without going through the liquid state.
- which of the following substances changes directly from a solid to a gas at room temperature?
a. naphthalene
b. water ice
c. snow
d. two of the above
- the substance commonly referred to as dry ice is solid ______.
a. oxygen
b. ammonia
c. nitrogen
d. carbon dioxide
Question 1
Solid air fresheners (like those with naphthalene or other sublimable solids) shrink over time because the solid directly turns to gas (sublimation), so the statement is true.
Stage "fake" fog is made using dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide. When solid carbon dioxide sublimes (turns to gas), it cools the air, causing water vapor to condense, but the subliming substance is solid carbon dioxide.
The process where a solid changes directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state is defined as sublimation.
