Randall D. Knight — A Macroscopic Description of Matter: Problem 64
10 g of dry ice (solid $CO_2$) is placed in a 10,000 cm³ container, then all the air is quickly pumped out and the container sealed. The container is warmed to 0°C, a temperature at which $CO_2$ is a gas. (a) What is the gas pressure? Give your answer in atm. The gas then undergoes an isothermal compression until the pressure is 3.0 atm, immediately followed by an isobaric compression until the volume is 1000 cm³. (b) What is the final temperature of the gas (in °C)? (c) Show the process on a pV diagram.
