The low temperature and direct sublimation to a gas makes dry ice an effective coolant, since it is colder than water ice and leaves no residue as it changes state. [4] Its enthalpy of sublimation is 571 kJ/kg (25.2 kJ/mol, 136.5 calorie/g). Dry ice is non-polar, with a dipole moment of zero, so attractive intermolecular van der Waals forces ...
Sublimate also refers to the product obtained by sublimation. [2] [3] The point at which sublimation occurs rapidly (for further details, see below) is called critical sublimation point, or simply sublimation point. Notable examples include sublimation of dry ice at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and that of solid iodine with heating.
The Mpemba effect is the name given to the observation that a liquid (typically water) that is initially hot can freeze faster than the same liquid which begins cold, under otherwise similar conditions. There is disagreement about its theoretical basis and the parameters required to produce the effect.

Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization or cryodesiccation, is a low temperature dehydration process [1] that involves freezing the product and lowering pressure, thereby removing the ice by sublimation. [2] This is in contrast to dehydration by most conventional methods that evaporate water using heat. [3]

It is named for its resemblance to a finger and is a type of cold trap. The device usually consists of a chamber that a coolant fluid (cold tap water, or perhaps something colder) can enter and leave. Another version involves filling the device with a cold material (examples: ice, dry ice or a mixture such as dry ice/acetone or ice/water). [1]
