  • Sublimation Explained: Understanding the Sublimate
    The solid substance formed during sublimation is called the sublimate.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Sublimation: The process where a solid directly transforms into a gas, skipping the liquid phase.

    * Sublimate: The solid that results from the gas phase condensing directly back into a solid.

    Think of dry ice as a common example. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates directly into carbon dioxide gas. The gas can then condense back into solid carbon dioxide, which would be the sublimate.
