Chemistry - Ideal Gas Question with Solution | TestHub

Dry ice ( ${\mathrm{CO}}_3$ ) sublimates at temperatures above $-73^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$. At $27^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$ and 1 bar pressure, carbon dioxide gas behaves as an ideal gas. Given that the density of solid ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ at $-73^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$ is $1.56\mathrm{g}/{\mathrm{cm}}^3$, and assuming the particles are closely packed in the solid state, calculate the factor by which the volume changes during the following transition.

CO₂(s) (–73°C) → CO₂(g) (27°C, 1 bar)
