<span>An example of sublimation is when a dry ice changes to carbon dioxide when kept in an open container. Sublimation is a change from solid phase to gas phase without passing through the liquid state. In this example, it is clear that the dry ice is solid form and it evaporates as gas without passing through the liquid state.</span>
<h3>Types of Osmosis</h3>
Osmosis is of two types:
Endosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypotonic solution, the solvent molecules move inside the cell and the cell becomes turgid or undergoes deplasmolysis. This is known as endosmosis.
Exosmosis– When a substance is placed in a hypertonic solution, the solvent molecules move outside the cell and the cell becomes flaccid or undergoes plasmolysis. This is known as exosmosis.
Increasing the pressure on a reaction involving reacting gases increases the rate of reaction. Changing the pressure on a reaction which involves only solids or liquids has no effect on the rate.
Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension.
