CBSEENCH11006198

At 298K, enthalpy of fusion of sodium metal is +2.6 kJ mol–1 and enthalpy of vaporisation of liquid sodium is + 98.0 kJ mol–1. Calculate the enthalpy of sublimation of solid sodium at 298K.

Solution

We know that,
   increment subscript sub straight H to the power of 0 space equals space increment subscript fus straight H to the power of 0 space plus space increment subscript vap straight H to the power of 0
space space space space space space space space space space space space equals 2.6 space kJ space mol to the power of negative 1 end exponent space plus space 98.0 space kJ space mol to the power of negative 1 end exponent
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals 100.6 space kJ space mol to the power of negative 1 end exponent
