Calculate the expansion work done against a constant external pressure of 0.995 atm and at a constant temperature of 19°c. assume that the initial volume of dry ice is negligible and that co2 behaves like an ideal gas.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A 19.2 g quantity of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is allowed to sublime (evaporate) in an apparatus. Calculate the expansion work done against a constant external pressure of 0.995 atm and at a constant temperature of 22 degrees C. Assume that the initial volume of dry ice is negligible and that CO₂ behaves like an ideal gas.

Answer : The expansion work done is, -1058.33 J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the volume of gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

where,

P = pressure of gas = 0.995 atm

Conversion used : (1 atm = 760 torr)

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas =

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

w = mass of gas = 19.2 g

M = molar mass of carbon dioxide gas = 44 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

Now we have to calculate the work done.

Formula used :

where,

w = work done

p = pressure of the gas = 0.995 atm

= volume = 10.5 L

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

conversion used : (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

Thus, the expansion work done is, -1058.33 J

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

your answer is c) plasma
