Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements,
1. Sublimation is the change of state from a solid to a gas, without passing through the liquid state.
2. Deposition is the transition of a substance directly from the gas to the solid state on cooling, without passing through the liquid state.
Which of these statements is/are incorrect?Correct
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Sublimation is the conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without its becoming liquid. It occurs more frequently among substances that are close to their freezing point. Sublimation happens more easily when the air is dry and when the ice is close to the melting point of water, so you can avoid having your food get freezer burn by keeping your freezer consistently cold and preventing air from contacting the food in it—
Example: Dry ice, when dry ice, the frozen form of carbon dioxide, is exposed to air, it directly changes from a solid to a gaseous state. This is visible as fog.
Deposition is when a substance in gas form changes states to become a solid. The gaseous substance gets deposited (usually as crystals) bypassing the intermediate liquid state. An example of deposition is when water vapor in the atmosphere changes directly into ice, such as the formation of frost.
Examples: Camphor, Iodine, Ammonium Chloride, Naphthalene, etcIncorrect
