Question

Solid carbon dioxide is also called dry ice. Dry ice is placed in a sealed container. Some CO2 sublimes and the following equilibrium is formed:

CO2 (s) = CO2 (g)

If the amount of solid CO2 (dry ice) in the container is doubled what would happen? (Hint: Write the equilibrium constant expression.)

 

Solid carbon dioxide is also called dry ice. Dry ice is placed in a sealed container. Some CO2 sublimes and the following equilibrium is formed:

CO2 (s) = CO2 (g)

If the amount of solid CO2 (dry ice) in the container is doubled what would happen? (Hint: Write the equilibrium constant expression.)

 

The amount of CO2 (g) would increase, but not double. 

The amount of CO2 (g) would double.

The partial pressure of CO2 (g) would increase. 

The amount of CO2 (g) would not change.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Solid carbon dioxide is also called dry ice. Dry ice is placed in a sealed container. Some CO2 sublimes and the following equilibrium is formed:

CO2 (s) = CO2 (g)
