Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid phase to a gaseous phase without passing through the liquid phase. While not all substances can sublime, there are several examples of substances that exhibit this behavior. Here are 10 substances that can sublime:
- Dry Ice (Solid Carbon Dioxide)
- Iodine
- Camphor
- Naphthalene (commonly found in mothballs)
- Ammonium chloride
- Arsenic
- Anthracene
- Menthol
- Benzoic acid
- Resublimed iodine (iodine that has been purified by sublimation)
These substances have characteristic sublimation points and exhibit the property of direct conversion from solid to gas under specific temperature and pressure conditions. It's worth noting that sublimation can vary depending on factors such as purity, pressure, and temperature.
