Question
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. At room temperature, it changes directly into a gas.
Which of the following describes this change?
A. Evaporation results in a reduction of the mass of carbon dioxide.
B. Freezing occurs due to a decrease in the kinetic energy of the particles.
C. Sublimation occurs due to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles.
D. Deposition causes the particles of the carbon dioxide gas to lock into place.

The correct answer is:
C. Sublimation occurs due to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles.
Sublimation is the process where a solid changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In the case of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), it transitions to gas at room temperature as the kinetic energy of the particles increases.
