42. What is the difference between sublimation and deposition?

Open in App

Solution

The difference between sublimation and deposition is as follows:
Sublimation Deposition:
The conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without going through the liquid phase is known as sublimation.
Examples: Dry ice, camphor, ammonium chloride $({NH}_{4} Cl)$ these are the substances which directly get converted into gas on increasing temperature

The conversion of gases directly into solids without going through the liquid phase on decreasing temperature is called deposition. It is just the reverse to sublimation.
Example: The example of deposition is frost i.e water vapour from humid air or air containing water vapour on to a solid surface.
