QUESTION:

A 19.2-g quantity of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is allowed to sublime (evaporate) in an apparatus like the one shown in Figure 6.5. Calculate the expansion work done against a constant external pressure of 0.995 atm and at a constant temperature of 228C. Assume that the initial volume of dry ice is negligible and that CO2 behaves like an ideal gas.

QUESTION:

A 19.2-g quantity of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is allowed to sublime (evaporate) in an apparatus like the one shown in Figure 6.5. Calculate the expansion work done against a constant external pressure of 0.995 atm and at a constant temperature of 228C. Assume that the initial volume of dry ice is negligible and that CO2 behaves like an ideal gas.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

According to ideal gas law, the number of moles can be calculated by the following formula.

                                                  ........................(1)

                                                     

P = pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature.
