The enthalpy of sublimation (direct conversion from solid to gas) of carbon dioxide is 26.1 kJ/mol. What value will the enthalpy of deposition (direct conversion from gas to solid) have? Use 3 significant figures and units of kJ/mol. The enthalpy of sublimation (direct conversion from solid to gas) of carbon dioxide is 26.1 kJ/mol.
How much energy is required to sublimate 8.3 kg of carbon dioxide? Give your answer in kJ. The mass of carbon dioxide that shows up in this problem should have 2 sig figs, assume it does for rounding purposes.
the enthalpy of deposition = reverse of The enthalpy of sublimation
the enthalpy of deposition = - 26.1 kJ / mol
mass of CO2 = 8.3 kg = 8300 g
molar mass of CO2 = 44 g / mol
moles of CO2 = 8300 / 44
= 188.6
heat required = ( 26.1 kJ / mol ) x 188.6 mol
= 4923 kJ
= 4.9 x 10^3 kJ
