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 volume of 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 volume of the container is doubled what would happen? (Hint: Write the equilibrium constant expression.)

The concentration of CO2 (g) would double. 

The amount (mass) of CO2 (g) would double. 

The amount (mass) of CO2 (g) would not change. 

The concentration of CO2 (g) would decrease to by one half.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The equilibrium reaction taking place is given as,

=> CO2 (s) ⇔ CO2 (g)

Given: Volume of the container is doubled.
