A student adds 4.00g of dry ice (solid CO2) to an empty balloon. What will be the volume of the balloon at STP after all the dry ice sublimes (converts to gaseous CO2)

Respuesta :

Answer : The volume of the balloon at STP is, 2.04 L

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of dry ice.

[tex]\text{Moles of dry ice}=\frac{\text{Mass of dry ice}}{\text{Molar mass of dry ice}}[/tex]

Molar mass of dry ice [tex](CO_2)[/tex] = 44 g/mol

[tex]\text{Moles of dry ice}=\frac{4.00g}{44g/mol}=0.0909mol[/tex]

Now we have to calculate the volume of dry ice.

As we know that 1 mole of substance contains 22.4 L volume of gas.

As, 1 mole of dry ice contains 22.4 L volume of gas.

So, 0.0909 mole of dry ice contains 0.0909 × 22.4 L = 2.04 L volume of gas.

Thus, the volume of the balloon at STP is, 2.04 L
