Definitions
- Describing a process of solid to gas conversion without passing through the liquid phase. - Referring to a chemical reaction where a solid substance changes directly into a gas. - Talking about a process of purification by heating a solid substance and collecting the vapor.
- Describing a process of liquid to gas conversion due to heat or exposure to air. - Referring to a chemical reaction where a liquid substance changes into a gas. - Talking about a process of removing moisture from a substance by heating or exposing it to air.
List of Similarities
- 1Both involve a change from one state of matter to another.
- 2Both are processes of conversion from a lower energy state to a higher energy state.
- 3Both can be affected by heat and pressure.
- 4Both can result in the formation of gas.
- 5Both are important in various scientific fields.
What is the difference?
- 1State of matter: Sublime refers to a solid to gas conversion, while evaporate refers to a liquid to gas conversion.
- 2Process: Sublime is a direct conversion from solid to gas, while evaporate involves a liquid phase before the gas phase.
- 3Temperature: Sublime occurs at a lower temperature than evaporate.
- 4Application: Sublime is often used in chemistry for purification, while evaporate is used in various fields for drying, concentration, and separation.
- 5Occurrence: Sublime is less common than evaporate in everyday language.
Remember this!
Sublime and evaporate are both processes of conversion from a lower energy state to a higher energy state. However, the difference between sublime and evaporate is their state of matter, process, temperature, application, and occurrence. Sublime refers to a solid to gas conversion, occurs at a lower temperature, and is often used in chemistry for purification. Whereas, evaporate refers to a liquid to gas conversion, involves a liquid phase before the gas phase, and is used in various fields for drying, concentration, and separation.
