| The sublimation of zinc (mass per mole = 0.0654 kg/mol)
takes place at a temperature of 6.00 × 10² K, and the latent heat of sub-
limation is 1.99 × 10º J/kg. The pressure remains constant during the
sublimation. Assume that the zine vapor can be treated as a monatomie
ideal gas and that the volume of solid zinc is negligible compared to
the corresponding vapor. Concepts: (i) What is sublimation, and what is
the latent heat of sublimation? (ii) When a solid phase changes to a gas
phase, does the volume of the material increase or decrease, and by how
much? (iii) As the material changes from a solid to a gas, does it do work
on the environment, or does the environment do work on it? How much
work is involved? (iv) In this problem we begin with heat Q and realize
that it is used for two purposes: First, it makes the solid change into
a gas, which entails a change AU in the internal energy of the material,
AU = Ugus - Usolid. Second, it allows the expanding material to do work
