What issues might arise in determining the latent heat of something that sublimes in comparison to something that melts

The heat of sublimation actually has two components, the heat of solidification (actually melting, since this is going in the reverse direction) and the heat of vaporization since you are transforming the solid to a gas. The energy required is the same, even though you do not actually go through a macroscopic melting phase. So the sublimation energy will be much greater than the heat needed for just melting, given the same mass.

Hope this helps!!

Sublimation is defined as the direct transition of a substance from solid state to gaseous state. The latent heat of sublimation is the sum of heat required for conversion from solid to liquid and heat required for conversion from liquid to gas. As in sublimation solid substance directly goes to gaseous state therefore, it is very difficult to find the components of latent heat of sublimation. This is the issue which arises in determining latent heat of sublimation.

On the other hand, when substance is melted it physically goes from solid to liquid. One can easily measure the heat required for this conversion.

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts
