The south pole of Mars is covered with solid carbon dioxide, which partly sublimes during the summer. The CO2 vapor recondenses in the winter when the temperature drops to 150 K. Given that the heat of sublimation of CO2 is 25.9 kJ/mol, calculate the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Mars. [Hint:Use Figure 12.32 to determine the normal sublimation temperature of dry ice and Equation 12.4, which also applies to sublimations.]
