Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of
oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single
astronaut exhales 1,08 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 165-L
tank at -45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?

A woman expends 95 kJ of energy walking a kilometer. The energy is supplied by the metabolic breakdown of food, which has an efficiency of 35 percent. How much energy does she save by walking the kilometer instead of driving a car that gets 8.2 km per liter of gasoline (approximately 20 mi/gal)? The density of gasoline is 0.71 g/mL, and its enthalpy of combustion is −49 kJ/g.
The Earth's atmosphere is composed of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9
percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gasses. To find out why these gasses are "trapped" in the
earth's atmosphere, consider a projectile with mass m that is about to launch vertically upward
from earth.
e. Ignore air resistance, show that the projectile can only escape the magnetie pull of the
earth if it is launched vertically upward with a kinetic energy greater than mgRearth, where
g = 9.80 m/s? and the earth's radius Rearth = 6378 km.
f. Compute the temperature required by a nitrogen molecule (molar mass 28.0 g/mol) and
an oxygen molecule (molar mass 32 g/mol) to achieve the average translational kinetie
energy required to escape earth?
g. Repeat part (b) for the moon, for which g = 1.63 m/s? and Rmoon = 1740 km.
h. Present your conclusion on the atmosphere of earth and moon based on the results from
parts (b) and (c).

MPaarrow_forwardNitrogen, the most abundant gas in the atmosphere (78%), is not necessary in the cardiovascular system and it causes no harm under typical atmospheric conditions. For instance, at standard atmospheric pressure nitrogen can absorb into your skin. This is not an issue until you dive underwater. Henry's Law (chemistry) states that the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the gas' partial pressure. When the partial pressure of nitrogen increases, it will be absorbed into the blood stream. This is not particularly dangerous, although it can lead to a pleasant feeling called "nitrogen narcosis" in some people. The real danger is when the diver resurfaces. When the diver begins to ascend, the partial pressure of nitrogen decreases and nitrogen comes out of solution as small bubbles of gas in the bloodstream. The buildup of nitrogen can be removed from the body by passing nitrogen through the bloodstream and into the lungs where it is exhaled. However, this…arrow_forward
