Which change of state is the reverse of deposition

A. Melting

B. Sublimation

C. Freezing

D. Condensation

B. Sublimation

Explanation:

Normally, when a gas or vapor, like water vapor, is cooled, it turns into a liquid (condensation).

Example: Water vapor would turn into liquid water.

If that liquid is cooled further, it turns into a solid (freezing).

Example: Liquid water would turn into ice.

However, Deposition is the process in which a gas changes into a solid phase without ever turning into liquid.

Sublimation is the reverse process in which a solid changes into a gas phase without turning into a liquid.

Tip: Think of how "dry ice" phases from solid to gas. It's dry because there is no liquid phase.
