question 129

Multiple Choice

A block of dry ice (solid CO₂, density = 1.56 g/mL) of dimensions 25.0 cm × 25.0 cm × 25.0 cm is left to sublime (i.e., to pass from the solid phase to the gas phase) in a closed chamber of dimensions 4.00 m × 5.00 m × 3.00 m.

• A) 172 mmHg
• B) 107 mmHg
• C) 0.225 mmHg
• D) 0.172 mmHg
