sucrose) = – 5472 kJ/mol.
Enthalpy of sublimation may be determined experimentally, but instead of that let us explore an easier route
for its calculation. Figure-1 shows the three phases of water on an enthalpy scale. Since enthalpy is a state
function, enthalpy changes depend only on the initial and the final states and not on the path. Therefore, we
must find the same value for enthalpy change whether the system goes directly from solid to gas or through
the intermediate state of liquid. Therefore, Hsub = Hfus + Hvap ....(1)
There is a small oversight in the way we obtained Hsub . Equation (1) is true only if enthalpies are
independent of temperature or if their values are measured or deduced at the same temperature. Suppose
we have enthalpy data at different temperatures as is usually the case. How do we proceed then?
We will illustrate the procedure with an estimate of Hsub at 0°C from Hvap at 100°C and Hfus at 0°C. In
order to calculate Hsub at 0°C, figure-2 shows that the heat absorbed in the process
Solid (0°C) Gas (0° C)
is equal to the heat absorbed in the process
Solid (0°C) Liquid (0°C) Liquid (100°C) Gas (100 °C) Gas (0°C)

The enthalpy of sublimation at 0°C is therefore given by :
373 273
During chemical reactions also, we may not obtain the products at the temperature at which reactant were
present initially. Then too, we can calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction at temperature of
reactants. The basis of Kirchoff's equations in thermodynamics is also the same. The Kirchoff's equations
