A 50-gram sample of dry ice (solid CO2) is placed in a 4-liter container. The system is sealed and allowed to reach room temperature (20°C). By approximately how much does the pressure inside the container increase when the dry ice turns to gas? (Ignore the initial volume of the sample.)
the pressure increases by about 7 atm

Assume that an interionic pair potential between K+ and Cl– ions can be approximated by Equation 2.15. Assume that the repulsive ion core interactions can be modeled with a power of m=12. Experimentally it has been determined that the energy to separate one pair of K+ and Cl– ions is 5.0 eV, and that the equilibrium interionic separation is equal to 0.266 nm. Use this experimental data to determine the value of B for an ion pair. Use the SI system of units for this problem.
