The phase change that describes the direct conversion of a solid into a gas is _______.

sublimation
melting
deposition
vaporization

Respuesta :

ANSWER: Solid > Gas = Sublimation

Here are the other changes just incase you need them.

Solid > Liquid = Melting

Liquid > Gas = Vaporization

Liquid > Solid = Freezing

Gas > Liquid = Condensation

Solid > Gas = Sublimation

Gas > Solid = Deposition


Answer:

The correct answer to the question is sublimation i.e the change of phase from solid to gas is called sublimation.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand various changes of states of matter.

There are various state changes or phase changes in nature.

Melting: Melting is the heat phenomenon in which  substance in solid  phase is converted into liquid at its melting point. For instance, ice converted into water.

Sublimation: Sublimation is the type of phase change in which solid substance is directly converted into gas without melting. For instance, the vaporization of camphor.

Vaporization: Vaporization is the type of phase change of matter in which a liquid substance is converted into gas at its boiling point. For instance, boiling of water.

As per our question, the change is occurring from solid to gas.

Hence, the phase change will be sublimation.
