Solution:

(a) Sublimation of dry ice (solid) to CO2 (gas): Dry Ice will convert in gas without going through intermediate liquid state.
(b) Diffusion of ink into water: The ink flow from higher concentration to lower concentration.
(c) Dissolution of solid into liquid: Slowly potassium permanganate crystal will dissolve in water to make a solution.
(d) Evaporation of acetone in air : As the boiling point of acetone is very small , it get evaporated and diffused in the atmosphere.
(e) Centrifugation of cream: In the process of churning, a centrifugal force acts away from the central line. Thus, cream get collected on the walls of vessel.
(f) Sedimentation
(g) Tyndall effect – Heterogeneity of air causes bending and scattering of light.
