Question

I am writing my Chem Lab report about the dry ice experiment to measure the molar mass of CO2 using ideal gas law. I got a question, and I do not know how to answer it. It says: "By the way, what are you assuming about the behavior of the carbon dioxide?" Please help.

Answer 1

Behavior means in the sense of whether CO₂ behaves as a Real gas or Ideal gas. Carbon dioxide behaves as Real gas.

Also write the following few words

Carbon Dioxide and Safety
Carbon dioxide is a non-toxic and non-flammable gas. However, exposure to elevated concentrations can induce a risk to life. Whenever CO₂ gas or dry ice is used, produced, shipped, or stored, CO₂ concentration can rise to dangerously high levels. Because CO₂ is odorless and colorless, leakages are impossible to detect, meaning proper sensors are needed to help ensure the safety of personnel.
