### Exercise 8-6: Sublimation of Dry Ice in a Closed System

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO₂). It sublimates readily. Suppose there is a 25.0-liter glass bottle containing nitrogen at 382 mm Hg and 31°C. A 31.8-gram sample of dry ice is placed into this bottle without any nitrogen escaping. There is no chemical reaction, and the temperature remains constant. After the entire sample of dry ice has sublimated:

a. **What is the partial pressure of the CO₂ gas in the bottle?**

b. **What is the total pressure in the bottle?**

c. **What is the mole fraction of CO₂ gas in the bottle?**

This problem involves calculating the effects of introducing CO₂ into a closed system with a known volume and pre-existing nitrogen gas. The use of the ideal gas law may be required to find partial pressures and mole fractions.
