Dry ice, CO2(s), does not melt at atmospheric pressure. It sublimes at a temperature of āˆ’78 °C. What is the lowest pressure at which CO2(s) will melt to give CO2(l)? At approximately what temperature will this occur?

Respuesta :

You need to use the equation PV = nRT

The only ā€œtrickā€ in these problems is you need to use the correct UNITS. Especially for the ā€œRā€ value.

If you get the units (eg temps in Celsius or Kelvin) corresponding to the correct ā€œmatchingā€ units of the other variables.

You need to convert the temp into Kelvin first
