Question

Give reason why?
On heating a sublimeable solid, the molecule break free & escape from the surface of solid directly into vapour.

Open in App

Solution

The kinetic energy of the particles at the surface of a sublimable substance is high.
Due to which on heating, these particles acquire energy and overcome the interparticle forces of attraction.
Therefore they break free & escape from the surface of solid and directly into vapour even at room temperature.

Q. it is a process in which a solid substance is directly converted into its vapours by application of heat and vapour is reconverted into solid by subsequent cooling.
