Answer:

48.5 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the sublimation of carbon dioxide at its sublimation temperature, that is, its change from the solid to the gaseous state.

CO₂(s) → CO₂(g)

The molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44.01 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 66.0 g are:

66.0 g × (1 mol/44.01 g) = 1.50 mol

The heat of sublimation for carbon dioxide is 32.3 kJ/mol. The heat required to sublimate 1.50 moles of carbon dioxide is:

1.50 mol × (32.3 kJ/mol) = 48.5 kJ
