(N/A) Standard enthalpy of fusion $(\Delta_{fus} H)$: The enthalpy change that accompanies the melting of one mole of a solid substance in its standard state is called the standard enthalpy of fusion. Melting is an endothermic process,so $\Delta_{fus} H$ is always positive.
$H_2O_{(s)} \rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}$; $\Delta_{fus} H = 6.00 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
Standard enthalpy of vaporization $(\Delta_{vap} H)$: The amount of heat required to vaporize one mole of a liquid at a constant temperature and under standard pressure $(1 \ bar)$ is called its standard enthalpy of vaporization.
$H_2O_{(l)} \rightarrow H_2O_{(g)}$; $\Delta_{vap} H = +40.79 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
Standard enthalpy of sublimation $(\Delta_{sub} H)$: The change in enthalpy when one mole of a solid substance sublimes directly into its vapour at a constant temperature and under standard pressure $(1 \ bar)$.
$CO_{2_{(s)}} \rightarrow CO_{2_{(g)}}$; $\Delta_{sub} H^o = 25.2 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The magnitude of these enthalpy changes depends on the strength of the intermolecular interactions in the substance.
