Dry ice (solid CO2) has been used as a mine explosive in the following manner. A hole is drilled into the mine wall, filled with dry ice plus a small charge of gunpowder, and then plugged. The gunpowder is lit with a fuse, vaporizing the CO2 and building up an explosively high pressure within the hole. Use each of the following correlations to estimate the pressure that will develop if 5.00 g of dry ice is placed in a 50.0-mL hole and heated to 1000 K: (a) the ideal gas equation of state, (b) the compressibility-factor equation of state, and (c) the SRK equation of state.

A mixture of dry ice (i.e., solid CO2) and acetone (liquid) is commonly used in laboratories for cooling applications. You mix dry ice (1.00 kg at -78.2˚C) and acetone (1.00 kg at 25.0˚C) in a thermally well insulated container. The container is open such that CO2 may leave the flask. NOTE: CO2 at standard pressure sublimes (i.e. turns directly to the CO2 gas) at negative 78.2˚C. a. What is the final state of the mixture (phase and temperature of each...
