Question

A piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) with a mass of 31.5 g sublimes (converts from solid to gas) into a large balloon. Assuming that all of the carbon dioxide ends up in the balloon, what is the volume of the balloon at 21 ∘C and a pressure of 748 mmHg? Express your answer in liters to three significant figures.

Step 1

The pressure needs to be in atmospheres (atm) because the ideal gas law uses pressure in these units. The conversion factor is 1 atm = 760 mmHg. So, to convert 748 mmHg to atm, use the following calculation: \[ P_{\text{atm}} = \frac{P_{\text{mmHg}}}{760 \text{ Show more…
