Question
The specific heats of iodine vapours and solid are 0.031 and 0.055 cal/g, respectively. If the enthalpy of sublimation of iodine is 24 cal/g at 200°C, then the enthalpy of sublimation of iodine at 250°C should be

Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
δ $C_p$ = $C_p$(g) - $C_p$(s) = 0.031 - 0.055 = -0.024 cal/(g °C). Using Kirchhoff's equation: δ H(250°C) = 24 + (-0.024) * (250 - 200) = 24 - 1.2 = 22.8 cal/g.
