Question

Ice will most likely sublime _____. when it is dropped into a glass of cold water when it is dropped into a glass of hot water when the air around it is very warm and humid when the air around it is very cold anIce will most likely sublime _____.

A when it is dropped into a glass of cold water

B when it is dropped into a glass of hot water

C when the air around it is very warm and humid

D when the air around it is very cold and dry
d dry

Answer 1

I think it is D because since the air is so dry and cold there is no way in tarnation that the ice would turn into water first. Therefore it will pass the liquid stage and thence sublimate into a gas

Answer 2

Answer:

D) when the air around it is very cold and dry

Explanation:

Sublimation is a process which involves a phase change from solid directly to the vapor, bypassing the liquid phase.

Based on the phase diagram of water, sublimation is favored under conditions of low temperature and pressure i.e. when the air around it is very cold and dry.

Therefore, options A), B) and C) are incorrect as they will only melt ice into a liquid.
