On a cold, dry morning after a frost, the temperature was -5 °C and the partial pressure of water in the atmosphere fell to 0.30 kPa. Will the frost sublime? The enthalpy of sublimation of water is 51 kJ mol-7. (Hint: Use eqn 4B.10 to calculate the vapor pressure expected for ice at this temperature; for p* and T* use the values for the triple point of 611 Pa and 273.16 K.)
