Ideal Gas Law:
Calculate the volume of the balloon:
molar mass carbon dioxide (CO2) = 44.01 g/mol
T = 23°C + 273.15 = 296.15 K
A piece of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) with a mass of 28.5 g sublimes (converts from solid to gas) into a large balloon.
Assuming that all of the carbon dioxide ends up in the balloon, what is the volume of the balloon at 23 oC and a pressure of 746 mmHg ?
