Question #183081
A sample of dry ice (solid CO2) is cooled to 173 K (-100.0 oC), and is set on a table at room temperature (298 K; 25 oC). At what temperature is the rate of sublimation and deposition the same (assume that pressure is held constant at 1 atm)?
Expert's answer
= 298 + 173
= 571
= 571/2
= 285.5 K
285.5 - 273
= 8.5°C
