The process in which solid converts into gas directly is known as?
A. vaporization
B. sublimation
C. crystallization
D. distillation
Let's write out the definition of each term
vaporization ⇒ the process of phase change from liquid to gaseous state
example
heating a pot of water on the stove
liquid to gas/steam
sublimation ⇒ the process of phase change from solid to gaseous state
example
dry ice, i.e. solid CO2
at room temperature it will go from solid to gas
crystallization ⇒ the process of solid formation to due supersaturation and cooling
example
dissolving an enormous amount of sugar in boiling water
as the solution cools,
sugar crystals will grow = candis
distillation ⇒ the process of purifying a solution by alternating heating & cooling
example
heating sea water in a pot with lid
water will evaporate and gather on the bottom of the lid
this condensation is collected
any impurities in the original water will stay behind
Option B is the correct choice
