YOUCHEMISTRY: IODINE SUBLIMATION

IODINE SUBLIMATION

 from wikipedia
Iodine (I2) under standard conditions is a metallic like bluish-black solid. When heated it sublimates (it directly goes from solid phase to gas phase) into a violet-pink gas that has an irritating odor. This iodine gas can condensate on a cold surface forming nice crystals of iodine solid. This process can be used to purify iodine.
