Question

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbon dioxide sublimes according to the following equation: CO2(s)?CO2(g). When dry ice is added to warm water, heat from the water causes the dry ice to sublime more quickly. The evaporating carbon dioxide produces a dense fog often used to create special effects. In a simple dry ice fog machine, dry ice is added to warm water in a Styrofoam cooler. The dry ice produces fog until it evaporates away, or until the water gets too cold to sublime the dry ice quickly enough. Suppose that a small Styrofoam cooler holds 15.0 liters of water heated to 90 ?C.

Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the change in enthalpy for dry ice sublimation. (The ?H?f for CO2(s) is - 427.4kJ/mol).

Express your answer using three significant figure

?H?rxn =

33.9

kJ (correct ANSWERR)

Calculate the mass of dry ice that should be added to the water so that the dry ice completely sublimes away when the water reaches 28 ?C. Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. in two sig figss
????? mass of dry ice________ g ????????
