Which of the following factors are responsible for the change in state of solid carbon dioxide when kept exposed to air?
(i) increase in pressure (ii) increase in temperature
(iii) decrease in pressure (iv) decrease in temperature
(a) (i) and (ii) (b) (i) and (ii) (c) (ii) and (iii) (d) (ii) and (iv)
(c) (ii) and (iii)
Solid carbon dioxide can be changed into vapour or gaseous state by decreasing the pressure and increasing the temperature. Both the processes increase the inter-particle spaces in the solid carbon dioxide.
