enthalpy of sublimation

Postby Stephanie tran 1J » Sat Mar 10, 2018 11:52 pm

Do we need to know the enthalpy of sublimation for the final?

I'm pretty sure you need to know all the enthalpies, but they should be on the equations sheet.

I think the only case it would show up is if we know both the Hvapor and Hsolid, which would make Hsublimation = Hvapor - H solid
and in all cases its endothermic and a positive value!

The numerical value should be given to us, but it is important to know the relationship between , as stated above!

Hsub can also be deltaH(fusion) + deltaH(vaporization)

As long as you know the equation, delta Hsub = Hvapor - Hsolid, or delta Hsub = delta Hfus + delta Hvap, you should be fine. Just remember that sublimation is changing two states, rather than just one phase transition. Since enthalpy is a state function, you can just add the enthalpy of each phase transition to find the enthalpy of sublimation.
