Solution

Few of its uses are:

1)One of the major applications of sublimation is chemical purification; very easy to separate/purify chemical compounds, those that can be sublimed under milder conditions form those that require harsher conditions; for example at different temperatures or in vacuum.

2)In “Freeze Drying”.

It is a process widely used to preserve food products. A food product is frozen and and then the pressure is decreased so that sublimation takes place.

3)napthelene balls that are used to kill cockroaches use sublimation.

4)There are also printers that print on objects that use sublimation techniques.

Hope this helps :)
