Which equation represents sublimation?
1) \(Hg_{(l)}\to Hg_{(s)}\)
2) \(NH_{3(g)}\to NH_{3(l)}\)
3) \(H_2O_{(s)} \to H_2O_{(g)}\)
4) \(CH_{4(l)} \to CH_{4(g)}\)

Can someone help me with this one ?

Answer is 3) - H₂O(s) → H₂O(g)

Sublimation can be defined as the type of phase conversion of a substance which is in its solid phase to a gaseous phase without going through its liquid
phase.

According to the
given choices only third one is correct because solid H₂O goes to its vapor without going liquid state.
