Write a activity to show the process of sublimation or deposition.Please answer

Sublimation

Sublimation of dry ice occurs at room temperature.

Sublimation is the phase change that occurs when a substance goes directly from a solid to a gas. When sublimation occurs, the substance does not go through the liquid phase. Energy is required for a solid to sublime into a gas. In nature, the heat produced by sunlight is usually the energy source. An example of sublimation is how dry ice reacts when exposed to an average room temperature and pressure. Dry ice is carbon dioxide that was solidified through a complex process involving condensation into a liquid at very low temperature and high pressure and subsequent release of the pressure, which causes rapid evaporation of about half of the liquid CO2, providing enough energy to freeze the remaining liquid into solid CO2, or dry ice. When exposed to normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, dry ice sublimes into vapor.

 

Deposition occurs when a substance goes directly from the gas state to the solid state. Like sublimation, the intermediate liquid phase is skipped over. In contrast to sublimation, the process of deposition releases energy. An example of deposition is the formation of frost. In cold temperatures, water vapor undergoes deposition to form a thin layer of solid ice on plants and grass.

The sublimation of air freshener Demonstration Pieces of solid air freshener are heated in a hot water bath and the vapour caught by cooling with ice. No liquid will be observed so students will be able to appreciate that a solid has turned directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. A fume cupboard, or other method of preventing escape to the air, is required for this experiment. Lesson organisation This experiment is best done as demonstration. As it can take several minutes for anything to happen, it would be advisable to have another activity for students while they wait. Most of the substances in the air fresheners are harmful. This is not a problem in day-to-day use as the vapour pressure and hence the amount which is in the air is low. However, heating them causes them to sublime quickly and they could reach harmful levels in the air so a fume cupboard or other method of preventing escape to the air is necessary. Apparatus Chemicals Eye protection Access to a fume cupboard Gloves (for those with sensitive skin) Beakers (100 cm3), 2 Stand, boss and clamp Shallow dish Thermometer (-10 - 110 oC) Kettle (for hot water) Solid air freshener (HARMFUL), a few lumps Refer to Health & Safety and Technical notes section below for additional information. Health & Safety and Technical notes Read our standard health & safety guidance Wear eye protection and gloves. Work in a fume cupboard. Air freshener - solid toilet bowl cleaners work best; if possible use a coloured one. If cheap ones containing 1,4-dichlorobenzene (para-dichlorobenzene), C6H4Cl2(s), are used, handle them with tongs in a fume cupboard. para-dichlorobenzene is HARMFUL and DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT - see CLEAPSS Hazcard. Gel-type air fresheners will not work. Procedure a Wear eye protection and work in a fume cupboard. Place a few lumps of air freshener in the bottom of one of the 100 cm3 beakers. Fill the other beaker three quarters full of ice. b Stand the beaker containing the air freshener in a shallow dish. c Carefully, clamp the beaker containing the ice in position on top of the beaker of air freshener. See diagram. d One-third fill the shallow dish with warm water (hotter than 45 °C). e Observe what happens to the solid. Be patient as it may take a while.

You can also observe sublimation by observing an "Odonil" which is very commonly available in our houses.
