A device used to perform this process by running a current through a titanium filament may become less effective due to the presence of inert gases like methane. Measuring this process allows calculation of vapor pressure with a Knudsen cell. Using a vacuum speeds up the rate of this process during lyophilization. The energy for ionization and this process quantifies a metal’s enthalpy in a (*) Born-Haber cycle. Heat transfer coefficients of convection can be determined by measuring this process in balls of naphthalene. Compounds purified by this process collect on a cold finger. The heat of this process equals heat of fusion plus heat of vaporization. Dry ice undergoes this process at room temperature. For 10 points, name this phase transition of a solid into a gas. ■END■
ANSWER: sublimation [accept word forms like subliming; prompt on phase transition or phase change]
