What is the expected value for the heat of sublimation of acetic acid if its heat of fusion is 10.8 kJ/mol and its heat of vaporization is 24.3 kJ/mol

Respuesta :

Answer:

35.1 kJ/mol is the expected value for the heat of sublimation of acetic acid.

Explanation:

[tex]CH_3COOH(l)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(g)[/tex]..[1]

Heat of vaporization of acetic acid = [tex]H^o_{vap}=24.3 kJ/mol[/tex]

[tex]CH_3COOH(s)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(l)[/tex]..[2]

Heat of fusion of acetic acid = [tex]H^o_{fus}=10.8 kJ/mol[/tex]

Heat of sublimation of acetic acid = [tex]H^o_{sub}=?[/tex]

[tex]CH_3COOH(s)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(g)[/tex]..[3]

[1] + [2] = [3] (Hess's law)

[tex]H^o_{sub}=H^o_{vap}+H^o_{fus}[/tex]

[tex]=24.3 kJ/mol+10.8 kJ/mol=35.1 kJ/mol[/tex]

35.1 kJ/mol is the expected value for the heat of sublimation of acetic acid.
