The state of water changes from liquid to gas during evaporation. The transformation that takes place when dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) changes from solid to gas is called sublimation.
In both evaporation and sublimation, the molecules of the substance gain enough energy to overcome the forces of attraction between them and escape into the gaseous state. However, the way in which they gain this energy is different.
In evaporation, the water molecules gain energy from the surrounding air. This is why evaporation occurs more quickly when the air is warmer. In sublimation, the carbon dioxide molecules gain energy from the vibrations of the crystal lattice. This is why sublimation occurs more quickly when the dry ice is crushed into smaller pieces.
The specific properties that change during evaporation and sublimation are:
State: The substance changes from liquid to gas or from solid to gas.
Density: The density of the substance decreases as it changes from liquid to gas or from solid to gas.
Heat of vaporization: The amount of heat required to vaporize a unit mass of the substance is called the heat of vaporization.
Heat of sublimation: The amount of heat required to sublime a unit mass of the substance is called the heat of sublimation.
The heat of vaporization and heat of sublimation are both latent heats, which means that they are the heat absorbed or released during a change of state without a change in temperature.
Evaporating water is a physical change. During evaporation, the substance changes from liquid to gaseous state. As water evaporates to form water vapour. Both evaporation and boiling involve changing a liquid to a gas, but there are a number of differences between them. Vaporization, which is more often referred to as "boiling," is the complementary process in which a chemical is converted from the liquid state of matter to a gaseous physical form. Boiling and Evaporation: Evaporation is the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas. Boiling is the change of a liquid to a vapor, or gas, throughout the liquid. Boiling and Evaporation: Evaporation is the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas. Boiling is the change of a liquid to a vapor, or gas, throughout the liquid. Changes of state are physical changes. They occur when matter absorbs or loses energy. Processes in which matter changes between liquid and solid states are freezing and melting. Processes in which matter changes between liquid and gaseous states are vaporization, evaporation, and condensation. Evaporation is the conversion of a liquid to its vapor below the boiling temperature of the liquid. Condensation is the change of state from a gas to a liquid. As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation increases. When a liquid evaporates, the chemical makeup of the substance has not been altered. The only change is a change of phase caused by temperature and pressure. Therefore, evaporation, the phase change from liquid to gas, is a physical change. The change of liquid into vapour without reaching its boiling point is called Evaporation. The kinetic energy of molecules at the surface of the liquid increases when exposed to some temperature. Due to the increased kinetic energy the molecules overcome the force of attraction between the particles of the liquid. Take one glass and one plate. Pour an equal amount of water into each. Step outside with both of them and wait for 20-30 minutes under the sun. After 30 minutes, measure the amount of water in both the containers. Sublimation is the conversion between the solid and the gaseous phases of matter, with no intermediate liquid stage. This must be a chemical change, because a new substance “fog” forms.” Actually, dry ice undergoes a physical change when it sublimates from the solid to the gaseous state without first melting into a liquid. The same carbon dioxide is still present; it just undergoes a phase change to become a colorless gas. The formation of dry ice from carbon dioxide is a physical change as the gas can be collected and with the increase in pressure and decrease in temperature, it can become dry ice.The process in which solids directly change to gases is known as sublimation. This occurs when solids absorb enough energy to completely overcome the forces of attraction between them. Dry ice is an example of solids that undergo sublimation.
