Sublimation of CO2
The sublimation temperature of solid CO2 is -78.5 "C at 1 atm pressure. At what minimum pressure must gaseous CO2 be stored in a fire extinguisher at 25 degrees C to ensure that some "snow" is produced when the gas is released to atmospheric pressure?
Use mico JT = 1.3 for CO2 and assume that it is independent of pressure and temperature.
