Question
sublimation is when a solid gains energy and becomes a gas, skipping the change to liquid. sublimation occurs when heat increases. it causes the particles to move so fast that they separate and become a gas. examples of sublimation include dry ice, freeze - drying, and mothballs. dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (co2) that does not melt into a liquid at room temperature. it sublimates into a gas. foods that are freeze - dried remove water from frozen foods without the water ever becoming liquid, going straight to water vapor. mothballs used to be made of a chemical called naphthalene, which sublimated at room temperature. this caused mothballs to decrease in size over time. what happens to particles during sublimation when heat increases? they stick together they move freely and fast they slow down
Sublimation occurs when heat increases, causing particles to move so fast that they separate and become a gas. This means particles move freely and fast.
