To calculate the standard enthalpy change for the sublimation of iodine, we need to consider the enthalpy changes for both fusion and vaporization. Sublimation is the process of a solid turning directly into a gas, bypassing the liquid phase. In this case, iodine  I2  will first undergo fusion  melting  and then vaporization  boiling .The enthalpy change for sublimation  H_sub  can be calculated by adding the enthalpy of fusion  H_fus  and the enthalpy of vaporization  H_vap :H_sub = H_fus + H_vapGiven the enthalpy of fusion for iodine is 15.52 kJ/mol and the enthalpy of vaporization for iodine is 41.57 kJ/mol, we can plug these values into the equation:H_sub = 15.52 kJ/mol + 41.57 kJ/molH_sub = 57.09 kJ/molTherefore, the standard enthalpy change for the sublimation of iodine  I2  is 57.09 kJ/mol.
