KillGorack / Physics 2010 / Tricia puts 44 g of dry ice (solid CO2) into a 2.0-L container and seals the top. The dry ice turns to gas at room temperature (20°C). Find the pressure increase in the 2.0-L container. (One mole of CO2 has a mass of 44 g, R = 0.082 1 L*atm/mol*K. Ignore the initial volume of the dry ice.)

The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.
