Calculate the amount of heat required to completely sublime 55.0 g of solid dry ice CO2 at its sublimation temperature. The heat of sublimation for carbon dioxide is 32.3 kj mol

40.4 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 55.0 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

n = 55.0 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 1.25 mol

Step 3: Calculate the heat (Q) required to sublimate 1.25 moles of CO₂

We will use the following expression.

Q = n × ΔH°sub

Q = 1.25 mol × 32.3 kJ/mol = 40.4 kJ
