are running out of oxygen and need to get rid of the
excess carbon dioxide. You know that sodium
hydroxide has been suggested as a means of
removing carbon dioxide from the spacecraft cabin.

The astronauts have 2 days left before they land on
earth. You know that there are three astronauts, and
hydroxide on the ship in a container. You also know
that sodium hydroxide can be used to remove carbon
dioxide according to the following reaction.
each astronaut emits roughly 500 g of carbon dioxide
each day Is there enough sodium hydroxide in the
cabin to cleanse the cabin air of the carbon dioxide,
or are the astronauts doomed?
