See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) First of all, we need to find the number of moles of the 10 g-dry ice $ (\rm CO_2)$ sample where we know that the number of moles is given by $$n=\dfrac{m}{M}$$ where $m$ is the mass of the sample and $M$ is the atomic mass of one molecule. Thus, $$n=\dfrac{m}{M_C+2M_O}$$ Plugging the known; $$n=\dfrac{10}{12+2(16)}=\bf0.2273 \;\rm mol$$ We know, for an ideal gas, that $$PV=nRT$$ Hence, the gas pressure at 0$^\circ $C is $$P_1=\dfrac{nRT_1}{V_1} $$ Plugging the known; $$P_1=\dfrac{(0.2273)(8.31)(0+273)}{10,000\times 10^{-6}} =\bf 5.16\times 10^4\;\rm Pa$$ $$P_1=0.509\;\rm atm\approx \color{red}{\bf 0.51}\;\rm atm$$ _________________________________________________ b) In the second isothermal compression process, the temperature is constant. So $$P_1V_1=P_2 V_2$$ Thus, the volume at the end of this stage is given by $$V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2 }$$ Plugging the known; $$V_2=\dfrac{(0.509)(10,000)}{3}=\bf 1.697\times 10^3\;\rm cm^3$$ In the third isobaric process where the pressure constant is constant. So $$\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}=\dfrac{V_3}{T_3}$$ where $T_2=T_1$ since it was an isothermal process. $$\dfrac{V_2}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_3}{T_3}$$ Hence, $$T_2=\dfrac{V_3T_1}{V_2}$$ And to find it in Celsius, $$T_2=\dfrac{V_3T_1}{V_2}-273$$ Plugging the known $$T_2=\dfrac{(1000)(0+273)}{( 1.697\times 10^3)}-273$$ $$T_2=\color{red}{\bf-112}^\circ\rm C$$ _________________________________________________ c) We have here 2 stages, an isothermal stage followed by an isobaric stage. $\bullet$ The isothermal stage starts from $\rm(10,000 \;cm^3,0.509\; atm)$ and ends at $\rm( 1697\;cm^3,3\; atm)$ $\bullet$ The isobaric stage starts from $\rm( 1697\;cm^3,3\; atm)$ and ends at $\rm(1000\;cm^3,3\; atm )$ See the graph below.
