Q.
If the sublimation energy and enthalpy of fusion of I2 are 57.3kJmol−1 and 15.5kJmol−1, respectively then, the enthalpy of vaporisation of I2 will be
(i) I2(s)⟶I2(g);ΔH1=+57.3kJmol−1
(ii) I2(s)⟶I2(l);ΔH2=+15.5kJmol−1
(iii) I2(l)⟶I2(g);ΔH= ? Eq (iii) will be obtained, if we substract Eq (ii) from (i), i.e (iii) = (i) - (ii)
Now, ΔH=57.3−15.5=+41.8kJmol−1
