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

Re: enthalpy of sublimation
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!

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

Re: enthalpy of sublimation
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.
