Several chunks of dry ice (2 lbm total) are dumped into a metal container that is initially empty. The container is sealed and left outside in 100 °F heat. After a long while, the Bourdon gauge on the side of the container stabilizes at 2400 psig. Why is the pressure so high? How big is the container? Demonstrate that using the ideal gas law is a bad idea by calculating the container volume with the van der Waals EOS. (Note: ρdry ice = 97.5 lbm/ft³)
