200 g solid CO2 (at -50°C) is placed in a 30 dm3 container at 25°C. Determine if the container will explode after all the CO2(s) has been converted to CO2(g) if the maximum pressure the container can withstand is 2.35 atm. Assume CO2(g) behaves as a van der Waals gas.Given: a = 0.3640 Pa m6 mol-2, b = 4.267 x 10-5 m3 mol-1, R = 8.315 J K-1 mol-1, Mr (CO2) = 44 g.mol-1

According to the question we have, The mass of carbon dioxide present in the container = 200 g The…

Question

200 g solid CO₂(at -50°C) is placed in a 30 dm³ container at 25°C. Determine if the container will explode after all the CO₂(s) has been converted to CO₂(g) if the maximum pressure the container can withstand is 2.35 atm. Assume CO₂(g) behaves as a van der Waals gas.

Given: a = 0.3640 Pa m⁶ mol^-2, b = 4.267 x 10^-5 m³ mol^-1,
R = 8.315 J K^-1 mol^-1, Mr (CO₂) = 44 g.mol^-1
