A piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) with a mass of $28.8 \mathrm{~g}$ is allowed to sublime (convert from solid to gas) into a large balloon. Assuming that all of the carbon dioxide ends up in the balloon, what will be the volume of the balloon at a temperature of $22{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and a pressure of $742 \mathrm{mmHg} ?$

Key Concepts

Ideal Gas Law

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) is a fundamental equation that relates the pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature of an ideal gas. It is used to predict the behavior of gases under various conditions and is a cornerstone of thermodynamics and physical chemistry, helping us understand and calculate how changes in one variable affect the others.

Molar Mass and Mole Concept

The mole is a unit that represents a specific number of particles, and molar mass relates the mass of a substance to the number of moles it contains. This concept is essential in converting a given mass of a substance into moles, which is a required step when applying the ideal gas law in order to relate the microscopic quantity of particles to macroscopic observables like pressure, volume, and temperature.

Unit Conversions

Unit conversions are critical when applying the ideal gas law because the equation requires consistent units for pressure, volume, and temperature. For example, converting temperature from Celsius to Kelvin and pressure from one unit (like mmHg) to another (like atmospheres) ensures that the gas constant is correctly applied, making the calculated results accurate and meaningful.
