Editing Sublimation (phase transition) (section)

=== Misuse for chemical reaction ===
The term ''sublimation'' refers specifically to a [[physical change]] of [[state of matter|state]] and is not used to describe the transformation of a solid to a gas in a chemical reaction. For example, the dissociation on heating of solid [[ammonium chloride]] into hydrogen chloride and ammonia is ''not'' sublimation but a chemical reaction. Similarly the combustion of candles, containing [[paraffin wax]], to [[carbon dioxide]] and [[water vapor]] is ''not'' sublimation but a chemical reaction with oxygen.
